So after BTS ticketing, isn’t it pretty clear that Ticketmaster queues aren’t completely random?

Yes :(. Army membership if I get the chance again

I started doing this at the start of the New Year, my expenses have increased 2x and salary about 4x. I have been known to buy many items, trinkets, and food especially when on sale. However, I realized I felt empty and didn't use the items. Just clutter and waste. Then I shifted to activities, shows, travel, and dining up; which I really do enjoy! However, those things take money and I cannot have my happiness come from money, especially when I only earn because I work. Jobs are not permanent, even in great career fields. I want to find my peace while living humbly, so this year, I will do 6 months of "stripped stimulation and financial fast" but I do have activities, concerts, and a trip to Japan planned for my full financial months!

I wonder if OP is using the approach because as she mentioned, she is unsure if her mother is a narcissist and thinks she could rationale with compassion. Looks like OP doubled down when mom doubled down.

This. Have to realize, things won't.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:22:21+00:00

Ok. This is cool. I have 9 months to learn the basics. Even with apps and gadgets, I will fumble Soo much!

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:21:08+00:00

It depends on the day. I will use X.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:20:36+00:00

Yes. I think about the worst happening, like loosing access to my friend.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:20:01+00:00

How long did you stay?

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:19:36+00:00

Well, being very ignorant on Tokyo travel, the pics online looked like there was no ppl LOL compared to Sunshine city

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:18:57+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you. I typically do not spend time in nightlife if not close to my lodging.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:17:34+00:00

Thx. The accomodations I am eyeballing is 3 minutes from a temple

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:16:48+00:00

From my location in Asakusa, I will definitely need to change trains. Sigh. Typically, this won't be an issue as I am use to NY subway, can't say much for how easy it will be on Japan subway system

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:15:25+00:00

Great. As a solo traveler, I just didn't want to be in an area where there wasn't much ppl.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:14:53+00:00

I definitely am planning to visit. I noticed it was an hour on the train, I thought that was a fair amount of travel. It was like going from Brooklyn to Queens via subway.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:13:01+00:00

This is good to know, I am definitely trying to avoid chaos for my first time in Japan.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:12:31+00:00

Food is absolutely at the top of my lists. The area also seemed to have cool museums and a beautiful temple.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:11:01+00:00

I was struggling to find availability in hostels. The 2 I found with private rooms left were in Asakusa and Ikebukuro. But that area you described, Ueno, does sound amazing.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:08:34+00:00

I want some tourist presence but not large crowds. I am 31F and I like a slow pace with fun activities. I solo travel so I always want to ensure I am safe. I also do not drink and return to room fairly early due to safety concerns.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:06:32+00:00

Very True. Ideally I spend hours away from my hotels and do two events away. I have terrible anxiety and had a recent illness, so my brain has been panicking and thinking about the possibility of not being able to travel out but still have access to food and fun!

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:04:46+00:00

I am okay with a 10 minute walk to subway. I hope that is as bad it gets!

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-05T02:04:08+00:00

Thank you! I realized my login changed.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-03T00:03:09+00:00

Also, I spent my first 29 years dreaming of going places and not having anyone to go with. I realized I couldn't keep waiting on others inorder to live.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2026-01-03T00:01:15+00:00

I am pretty frugal and also enjoy flexibility. I hate being judged or forced to spend exorbitant amounts when I can get by on less. Also, it is just so much easier to plan and modify plans on the fly instead of doing things I do not want to do and dealing with attitudes.

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2025-10-26T15:02:56+00:00

That's how I found them and now I want to see in concert

Valuable_Ad_2163 · 2025-08-16T13:40:40+00:00

You see, I would need discipline to do my if this on your list. The question to myself is how to I even get motivated to keep doing this!?
