Hello everybody!
It has been almost 3 months since the last time I wrote here. I apologize for that. Actually, I have the feeling that my brain has been missing the mental stimulation associated with writing these posts, so I have decided to restart posting here. Can't promise I will be writing every day, but I do promise I will share my deepest thoughts here whenever I find the time.
So what have I been up for the last 3 months? In short, I visited one foreign country (Taiwan), went through a number of romantic experiences, and most importantly decided to finally make the big move to Tokyo I had been planning all along. I would now like to elaborate on this last point.
Since I came back to Japan six months ago I have been living in Osaka. Osaka is great and I love it, but I always knew that in order to achieve my future goals I had to move to Tokyo. I am the kind of person who likes to be in the biggest city in the country he lives in and in Japan that city is obviously Tokyo. This comes from both career and personal perspective. Actually, moving to a new place is always a little scary. What if things don't work out? What if I fail? What if I'm just not up to the task? Perhaps I should just lay low and settle in Osaka where I'm already getting established. These are the scared voices in my head. And I don't blame them - they think they are doing me a service. But sorry voices, I am not going to listen to you. Instead I am going to listen to my heart.
With the passage of the years I have found out about the importance of listening to my heart. More often than not when I don't listen to my heart I end up unhappy. True, there have been times when I listened to my heart and failed. But honestly, unhappiness scares me more than failure. So here I go - gonna live my life and follow my heart!
