Just read this article, and I have to agree it was beautiful (even though translating was a bit of a pain). The way they narrated his entire life (sort of) was just like a story, with yuzu as the main character. And even though I knew what was ahead, I shed tears as it all unfolded in front of my eyes. And if I could understand those poetic words I would have loved it even more, but even so it was the most beautiful yuzu article I ever read. I knew how much yuzu had suffered, but I never realized his suffering of going to Canada, I too was brought in a different country rather than my homeland, but I was pretty young when we shifted so I didn’t have much problems. However, I can’t even imagine how it must’ve been like for him, surrounded by such people and feeling a little lost due to the language barrier. And we know yuzu loves to do what he does best, so he must’ve felt very helpless and alone (I hope someone was there for him then, before Javi because idk when they became friends). Now as well, I hope he has someone by his side (his family or friends) and that he’s not completely alone, because we know how much he likes to stay strong but he’s also only human. This bday of his might not be his best one, but I hope he can at least fully enjoy it and be happy. That’s all we truly want now from him, as long as he’s happy and healthy, he’s already done enough, he too needs his comfy time.

43. For not only inspiring other figure skaters, but inspiring everyone who watchs him, by his unwavering determination, and undoubtedly beautiful convictions. I’ve always been afraid to put myself out there, but after coming to know him, how he never wavers (maybe he does or did I don’t know), but I’ve seen him being strong and brave when I don’t know I would’ve been. So much love to yuzu. p.s I think there are more than 100 reasons to love him ❤️
