Life in Japan Vlog | Japanese Protection Charms & Other New Year's Traditions (while mourning)

Konnichiwa~ What was your new year's like??
I'm not gonna lie, I was trying really hard to be positive in this video, but it wasn't easy and I feel like it shows (that I'm forcing it). I'm sorry if this video was kind of awkward in that way. I respect our traditions and the manner in which we mourn, but it does feel heavy when being reminded that "there's a relative who passed away this year so you must go about 'celebrating' differently"
I'm hoping my next vlog is WAY more genuinely upbeat, so bear with me!
