My life has been pretty weird since I got back to Japan. Hence the empty space in my blog life. Going home was so incredible and it just made me more excited to come back to Japan and finish strong, so to speak. There are so many things that I want to do in the next 9 weeks but as the time winds down, I find myself having to prioritize them. My weekends are all planned for and this weekend is the only one for the next three or four weekends for which I haven't already made plans.
And so I write.
It seems a little early to sound so conclusive about my experience here but the truth is, before I know it, I'll be packing my suitcases (again) and making my way back stateside. Japan has been and continues to be, an eye-opening experience that has fostered and encouraged a tremendous amount of personal growth. When I made this decision, I was hoping that this would be a life-altering change. It actually has proven itself to be that, and then some. I know myself so much better than I did a year ago. And to finally feel like I have clear direction and a plan (you know I love plans), is comforting and exciting, and dare I say it, a little scary.
I made the decision to take on some big things in the next few years. My dreams, all the things I have always dreamed of, and felt that were meant to be. The scariest part is wondering if this plan, my plan, is God's plan for me....wondering if it fits the mold. If it isn't, it will fail, and that's fine because though my plans may fail, God never does. He's never failed me yet. I never do anything unless it feels right. Coming to Japan felt right. And I ran with it. Some people felt like it came out of nowhere, and maybe it did for them, but not for me. These plans that I have for myself, they feel right and so I'm running with it. When I want something, I am good for making it happen and failure is just not an option.
These 9 weeks will fly by because I will be putting in work. Working hard to make sure that when I get home, I hit the ground running. Running toward my dreams. Running toward success.
Meet me there?
Love,
The Gypsy
