Thanks for visiting The Mended Teacup.  I created this site as a place for good things that fill me up.  I hope you find yourself replenished in your time here.  Whether it be exploring Japanese life philosophy or my struggles with mental illness, writing brings my soul to life and illuminates dark recesses of my mind.  I searched for sites online that offered positive, inspiring worldviews and I didn't find one that spoke to me.  And that's how The Mended Teacup was born.  Like a cup of tea, I hope you find your time here restorative, calming and perfect in its simplicity.
