Gah, Aniki, you got me thinking :P Allow me to borrow your words for a bit? Remember all those times when you were a kid, and you would wonder and plan what you’d do as an adult? All those dreams about being a doctor or an astronaut, about being the first person to visit Jupiter or trying to dig a hole to China with your mates, saying that you’d eat nothing but chocolate cake and candy all day long? Well.. why aren’t we doing those things? What happened to those dreams and ambitions? Where is out creativity and imagination? I feel like I am enjoying life for the first time, and all these realizations of unachieved dreams and broken promises to myself are being brought back to my attention.

The truth of the matter is that I can never move back to North Carolina. It's something I didn't want to realize; part of me had always hoped that I could return to the world I was comfortable and complacent within prior to leaving for Japan, with familiar walls and scenery that used to excite.

Tomorrow will be an extremely difficult day. As much as I love revisiting the town I grew up in, it always causes me to become a bit nostalgic over my Grandmother and Grandfather that are since deceased. Really, it’s been quite many years since either of them have been in my life.. My Grandfather passed away when I was only eight, and my Grandmother shortly before I turned fourteen. But even still, their involvement in my life has influenced a lot of who I am now. For many years I always thought about them and missed them, but never really applied the lessons and morals they wanted me to know until just recently. Kansai Gaidai was a wake up call for that, I believe. Now, I am glad to say that I think they will be ... read more
