All the feels, all the grudges

多情多恨
ta.jou.ta.kon

Literally: many – emotion – many – regret / resentment / hatred

Alternately: Easily swayed by one’s emotions, and therefore prone to resentment or sadness. Wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve, and suffering as a result.

Also the title of a story by Ozaki Kouyou, a Meiji-era writer and mentor of Izumi Kyouka, whom I’m actually researching right now.

About Confanity

I love the written word more than anything else I've had the chance to work with. I'm back in the States from Japan for grad school, but still studying Japanese with the hope of becoming a translator -- or writer, or even teacher -- as long as it's something language-related.
