#yuzuru hanyu gift 2023

[skynapple]

Sobbing over Yuzuru Hanyu's GIFT 2023 and I don't have the words right now but the whole story of how truly depressed he was

and how he's telling literally screaming it's ok not to be ok, reach out, get help, even if it's hard. Hold space for your sadness. You're not alone, even if your insides are screaming that you are, you aren't.

I'm crying 😭

Again... The parallels...

Anyway. The merch i order online finally got here! It was a process. Yet to receive anything from prologue other than the photos (I ordered a tshirt and couple of other things). I ordered just in case I couldn't get tickets and that I wouldn't go over carry on luggage limits if I did get tickets.

Skate school was also getting rid of some old merch and gave it to us for free. Sadly the back pack isn't big enough for my skates.

Letter tin contence. Because mmmm stationery...

So.

GIFT.

Yuzu was out to emotionally WRECK US ALL THAT DAY.

I barely breathed throughout, and everything, from the music to the visuals to Yuzu's monologues, was so damn heartwrenchingly wonderful that I am at a loss for words.

I cried at Rondo, I cried at how damn happy he was that he skated it clean. (And really, Pooh-san there was a gut-punch for some reason.)

And after Phantom, that whole monologue about his dream disappearing had me in tears again (after they'd dried on LMEY, because that was pure serotonin tbh), and I literally did not stop crying (sobbing even, at some points, esp during Itsuka Owaru Yume) until after it ended.

And ending it on Seimei? The absolute best choice, really, because it ended on the highest note (good god, the absolutely beaming smile on his face throughout it was 10 steps above even Pyeongchang, and, I think, it gave him the strength he needed for that one last Arigatou Gozaimashita that is so, so Yuzu).

So, yeah.

I will need five to eight business days to even begin recovering from this.

Yuzu, really, truly, thank you for this gift.
