I'm so excited to see this! (Even though I won't be able to read without Google Translate). I've also been learning to let go of valuing myself outside of what I do. It's a gradual process, but very liberating. I think you're right that this will open so many doors for you, because you can propagate your "Japanese consciousness" to the rest of Japan. I can't wait to do the same thing with Finnish soon. I wonder if there's a "Grammarly" for Japanese.
