A trip of a lifetime

My year out here has been eye opening you could say. I spent days working and losing myself in a place that has, in so many ways tried to get me to open my eyes.

This country doesn't believe in working to death, instead it wants you to stop and smell the flowers. Take a second to reflect and grow and always look for a better tomorrow.

Japan has taught me to live in the moment and do only what I would want returned. Lessons, you have all heard once before but in the land where niceties are meant, and people don't know how to be mean, you get a new interpretation for what those words really mean.

I would love to say that I feel out of place, like this here isn't my home. But it is. I have friends I can count on, a job that I love (and sometimes hate) and a relationship that is showing me how two very different people, in very different lives can mesh in a way they become one.

No matter where I go, I am home becuase those that I care about, aren't ever far behind and those I want to meet are never too much farther ahead. <3
