Last batch of origami cranes
End next month, i will fold my last batch of origami cranes in Stockholm. Sadly, this was never financially sustainable. But i really wanted it to be. And do it in America or Japan too. After this is over, it will take me two or three weeks to process all the videos, and it will take me one week to get them all online. Maybe in time for my birthday.
What i learned in all these years folding so many origami cranes? That words are cheap. And to let things go, although it is still hard. I keep a clear memory of them as a whole, and the places they were made. But i'm still lost in this world, and i haven't found a way to make it. I promise, i will still be here. Let's say i'm going to take a break, like in standby mode. Probably doing some doodling on DeviantArt, and eventually getting back to folding.
Mom told me that her father, my grandpa, was a pigeon breeder in Hong Kong. He was later outcompeted by the Chinese, when the restaurants started to import them from China for less money. He had to stop breeding pigeons, and started catering to smoking gamblers in the casino. Second-hand smoke was a term that had yet to be invented. This is how he got sick and died. I never met him, he died before i was born.
