30 Days 

30 Days

I noticed I've been eating more than usual lately. Somewhat of an indulgence at times. From ramen to sushi, yakitori to curry, name it. Perhaps it's the thought that my stay in Tokyo is numbered and that I'm trying to catch up and make the most of it while I'm still here.

On my way home tonight, my pace was a slow, leisurely trek. What usually takes 15 minutes probably took twice as long. Walking along the railroad tracks, I feel the cold evening air enter my lungs, giving me a certain kind of high, one I probably won't get often from the bustling streets of Hong Kong. It's extremely odd that as I begin to settle I would start packing my bags and move on. Perhaps I'm not ready to be comfortable. Always looking to push myself to go beyond my comfort zone... hmmm... I wonder if this is true with my relationships as well.

One thing for sure, I'm definitely going to miss Tokyo. Do I regret the decision to leave? No, I've come for the experience and I got it. It's not much, but I think it's time to focus on the long term. Where I'm going is certainly better, and it's what I've always wanted - as was living and working in Japan. Will I return to Japan? You never know. I doubt it will be anytime soon though.
