well haha i'm not reluctant to leave japan this time...
jaaneeee
what am I doinggggggggggggggg...
more than two weeks since I came back to Japan. and less than two weeks are left.
I've got plenty of time to reflect on my life at college... or rather my life.
think... think.... it seems I can't stop thinking...
I'm told not to think too much, but it's human nature to think.
sometimes not to find answers, but to find many more questions we are facing.
yesterday I visited my high school.... for the first time in four months.
it was standing at the same place(naturally) and there were same people. the same smell and the same flow of time.
honestly, I felt I missed the air in that space. the place was holding my life for six years, acting an especially important role for me.
yesterday, although with the same feeling of its huge gravity attracting me, I somehow realized that I'm not attached to it anymore. It's natural in the way that I don't belong to the school, not spending my life there. But that feeling was still surprising me. Something which was almost everything to me... is already put away in my past.
This doesn't necessarily mean that I don't care about my high scholl any longer.
I met my teachers and talked and talked and talked.... until my jaw got really tired.
everyone looked unchanged. my club's still got a number of problems... as usual.
my favorite teachers were still really energetic and funny. it was such a good feeling of nostalgia....
even though the time I spent there is already past, the past is still charging energy and power to go forward.
later at night, I had a dinner party with my dance buddies. it was such a fun party... with incredibly many dishes and good deal of alcohol...
it was such a weird party as well... from a teen(only me! the youngest hehe) to fifties...
this multi-generational(?) gathering showed me a new light on my connections.
it's a rare thing to have a common topic with people in different ages, regardless of our jobs or schools. we can interact with one another just because we dance. such a small factor, a mere hobby can connect so many people and generates a big circle.
and our dance teacher is really great... she opened my way toward dance. although I will keep dance as a hobby, it will enrich and enliven my life...
happy... happy to meet people who I would have never had a single chance to talk if I had not begun dancing.
thankful..... to widen my world.
I felt connected.
to everything. to everyone.
I felt alive.
among many people. among those who I love.
hey gentleman,
i miss you so much that i'm getting crazy.
i wanna talk to you.
but i want you to talk to me first... so that i can feel you take even slightest care of me.
i wanna wait. wait until i'll be there again.
but here... i'm lost. i'm lost in darkness. drawning. drawning in my own feelings.
it's so painful. it's breaking me into pieces.
i hate this. i hate my being this uneasy. doubtful. unconfident.
i'm trying. trying to believe myself. believe that it's different this time.
not gonna end with nothing as usual.
something.... something special.
i'll try not to end it by my own hands again.
all the memories I have shared with you.... were too beautiful. too peaceful.
wanna stick to them... keeping them and doing nothing anymore might let them remain beautiful.
but i know that i have to go forward. even if i end up ruining them.
there's always something we can't get no matter how hard we do our best.
then, what we should do is to accept the reality lying in front of us.
i'm thinking.... constantly thinking.
have i done my best? certainly i have done more that i thought i could. but still, this is not me. i'm not gonna give you up.
before i try everything i can do. i'll be the best me ever.
it hurts. it hurts more than ever.
i'll bear. be patient. be honest. and be smiling.
i'm here for you.
Happy Happy New Year!!!
It's been a year since I began this blog :)
My life has changed a lot since then... too much to describe fully.
It was only a wink when it turned to 2006. 2005, the most important year so far in my life, was over.
Every year I set a time for myself to think back about the whole year. But this time, I just moved on. The end of a year might be something special. The beginning of one too.
demo ne......
Every moment in my life is special. I don't want to be satisfied with just running through a year and looking back at the end.
I wanna cherish every 1/100 second, appreciating everything I'm receiving in my life.
Though it is really tough..... much harder than you think, you say, or imagine.
At least, I wanna thank ppl around me, who are bringing me laughter, smile, and happiness.
At least, I wanna keep saying something cheerful like this and try to be happy.
There are too many things I wanna achieve. It's impossible to take all the courses I want to in four years. It is impossible to do all the jobs I want or to meet all the people on earth in my lifetime.
Soooooo,,,,,
I will make the most of my four years at college, deriving every important piece to color me.
I will believe in what I am doing in the future. Never doubt my choice.
I will, sincerely, I will be thankful to meet the people I know, because they are chosen among billions and appeared in front of me. Miracle, isn't it?
Wishes for 2006.... well, I wish to meet more people and new experiences. After that, it is up to me. I'll make it a happy one.
2006, it will be a great year. A special one, as every year has been!
I'll feel it is the best one in my life, just because I'm in it at the moment.
Well, now, let's step in! Gear up! Be ambitious!
今年もよろしくお願いします☆ミ
Two days have passed since I came back to Japan.
After four months of college life, I saw almost no change in my home, my hometown, or even my home country.
I'm leading the same life as I had before leaving here. Well, with some problems in languages...
When I look back at my life in Wesleyan, it becomes somehow blur and is felt like a dream far away. What have I done there? Where has it brought me in these four months?
I feel so weird being here at home, detached from my real life at Wesleyan. I feel weird being in Japan. I have nothing to do here. Well, I'll see my friends and go on a diet and eat and eat and eat.
But there is no community I belong here at home. At Wesleyan, I have no "home," but there IS a community I belong and which I feel is my home.
One month of blank. It will be a long one, but I'm sure it can benefit me in some ways if, and only if I can make use of it.
My life at Wesleyan was too messy. Too random, as many ppl know...
It was a lot of fun and gave me a lot of lessons, well, mainly those about life.
Still, I don't think I should keep leading the same one. No matter what I did, failures in the first semester can be justified. Now, I'm telling myself to change something. Try something new. Be myself. More and more.
Challenge myself. That's the way I have survived. That's the way I have entertained myself.
I'll bring more fun. More smile. More happiness in my mind.
Hoping that will bring happiness to people too.
