Aiko's Pavilion of Thoughts

I know, this post is embarrassingly long overdue. I thought of this in February, but where did that time go?? Truly, time is an illusion. 2024 passed in the blink of an eye, and so did the first 3 months of 2025.

During Valentine's Day, I saw people celebrating it. That's normal, but somehow, it made me feel weird...maybe inadequate, even, for not doing anything. Sure, it was election day (which was frankly quite stressful), and it's not unusual for me to not do anything...so why did I feel this way? I know very well how silly it is, but at that moment, the feeling was so strong, I wanted to make a Twitter thread. The problem isn't Valentine's Day or celebrations, it's something else: the inaction of not doing anything when it seems so many people around you do.

This is an introspection of my thoughts and myself, the far longer version of this tweet. Warning: this entire thing is silly and might be quite incoherent. I tried.
