Day 4 & 5 Mount Fuji & Tokyo

hello dear, how are you? miss you :(

Today is the 5th day of my Mount Fuji / Tokyo trip, the last full day before I fly back to HK tomorrow. Sorry that I didn’t write here yesterday, we left Mount Fuji area and drove back to Tokyo city to return our car rental. I was very tired after settling in the hotel after the long journey, especially because without the car, we need to walk more and my dad’s mobility is really bad these days, my brother and I have to be even more cautious to plan all our routines with minimal walking.

But overall thankfully, this family trip has been a lot “easier” and smoother than last year’s to Fukuoka. My parents seem to be quite satisfied with all the arrangements so far and enjoyed the places we visited. So now I’m more relieved and feel less stressed, even though I’m still quite drained and feel like I desperately need some alone time. Especially for these two nights in Tokyo, I have to share a room with my brother. I am just really not used to it and I feel it hard to fully shut myself off and rest because he is here. It also makes me feel I don’t have enough space to feel safe and regulate my emotions, like I can’t release my emotions by crying like I always do :(

Another thing that I feel uncomfortable and a bit triggering is that he would facetime with his gf at night while I’m next to him. I don’t like hearing their intimate interactions and conversations, it’s just like how I sometimes feel stressed when my brother’s gf stays overnight at our place for too many nights. But I guess I’ll bare with this for one more night tonight :(

Sharing the last batch of photos of this trip before I go to rest:
