homeward bound.

I have loved having some time to be back in in The States, but I am now ready to go home. Yes Cat, home as in Japan. :) 

My little Japanese apartment is calling my name, not just for some space and my familiar things, but also for the sweet "me time" that comes with it. It seems I have come to find peace and solidarity in that eight hundred square feet I can call my own. Living alone and traveling alone have helped me to learn that I can enjoy my own company. Yes, I will always love a chance to spend a weekend shopping and gossiping with Sarah, but I also like the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want just because. I never would have thought that I would enjoy this, but I do. I don't want this forever, but right now it is just right.

It seems that I am still learning about myself with every little step. Either that, or I am getting old enough to eat alone at bars like my parents...      :)
