I'm sorry to hear this. Just catching up on your recent journals and it's disheartening to read what a tough time London's been giving you. I think, sadly, you're right that it has toughened. I know it has a good side and a bad side but there definitely is a "pressure cooker" feeling at the moment in the UK.

It's one of the things that I loved so much about Tokyo, my anxiety completely reduced because it felt so safe everywhere all the time. Not just safe from crime but also safe from, like, any unwanted interaction. People seem to really respect personal space there. I'm sure it's not perfect and I got lucky that I had not even a remotely negative experience there but it was just - physically, mentally, spiritually - such a tremendous relief to not constantly feel like something COULD kick off at any moment.
