ichi-go ichi-e (Japanese: 一期一会, pronounced [it͡ɕi.ɡo it͡ɕi.e], lit. "one time, one meeting") is a Japanese four-character idiom (yojijukugo) that describes a cultural concept of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. The term has been roughly translated as "for this time only", and "once in a lifetime". The term reminds people to cherish any gathering that they may take part in, citing the fact that any moment in life cannot be repeated; even when the same group of people get together in the same place again, a particular gathering will never be replicated, and thus each moment is always a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The concept is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies, especially tea masters Sen no Rikyū and Ii Naosuke. "A Moment Ahead in the Future" (一瞬先の未来) is an immersive, monthly exploration into a blend of personal insights, creative musings, and critiques of digital life.

everything you need to survive this world is already within you. all you have to do is listen. let the frequency find you.

hi! my inner child and I are into coding right now. she is enjoying making her website look pretty. I can tell she’ll want to rock out when she’s done though. the music I’ve been listening to lately is getting faster and faster despite what time of year it is. I can feel my feet tapping while I work. I can feel the music flowing inside of me, and I want to dance. but, I do also want to code. I have really been enjoying web design WAY more than I thought I would. as someone who loves fashion, cinema, and music, it makes sense that I would also be entranced by digital stylings as well. creating my own webpage out of protest for elon’s dumb fucking ass running twitter my beloved into the ground feels good as fuck.

honestly I think we should all be creating a centralized location for our artistry but also social media / blogging style posts. with all of the platforms I have enjoyed getting fucked to death by capitalism, maybe I have become a bit jaded. tumblr got killed in front of me by yahoo and now they stole twitter from me. I was fucking born on twitter you sick bastard. anyways, now I have to code myself a corner of the internet so people know where I am always despite the fickle social media platforms.(*ﾟｰﾟ)
