In Kyoto, we visited Taiga Takahashi’s concept store/art gallery ~hybrid~ It’s a beautifully curated space blending textiles and interior design. The store features his latest collection alongside sculptures and art pieces-all thoughtfully displayed together. There’s even a serene courtyard at the back that lets in a bunch of natural light. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything, it’s worth visiting just to appreciate the space itself. The ~quiet~ in store feels like the perfect escape from the busy surrounding streets of Gion, which can get really crowded and overwhelming.

Empaths feel deeply and absorb the emotions of others, which can be both a gift and a burden, especially when tied to unhealed traumas. What Empaths Feel: Intense Emotions: Experiencing emotions more intensely than others, sometimes without understanding the source. Energy Absorption: Absorbing emotional energy, leading to feeling drained or overwhelmed in social settings. Deep Compassion: A profound sense of empathy and genuine care for others' well-being. Physical Sensations: Experiencing physical symptoms like fatigue or aches in reaction to emotional energy. Intuition: Strong intuitive abilities, sensing beyond the obvious. Tied to Unhealed Traumas: Heightened Sensitivity: Unhealed traumas amplify sensitivity, leading to emotional overwhelm and stress. Boundary Issues: Struggling with setting boundaries, often feeling responsible for others' emotions. Emotional Triggers: Reliving past pain when encountering similar emotions in others. Self-Sacrifice: Neglecting their own needs to focus on helping others, stemming from unresolved issues. Hypervigilance: Constantly alert to emotional disturbances, leading to anxiety and burnout. Healing Path: Empaths need to address unhealed traumas to harness their gift effectively. Healing involves setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and seeking professional help. By doing so, empaths can transform their sensitivity into a powerful tool for empathy and connection, without being overwhelmed by the emotional energies around them.
