I wanted to write in my journal before I left America so that I could reflect on where my life stood at that moment, where I was going, and what I was leaving behind. However, I underestimated the time it would take me to run last-minute errands, pack up, say good-byes, and get everything ready to go abroad. Needless to say, I found myself sitting in an airplane on Sunday morning, March 21st with tear-stained cheeks, a pounding headache, an open journal, and a broken pen. It broke on the plane as I pulled out my journal and began to write...my morning had not been going well.
You will find within the passages to follow a detailed glimpse into my heart and mind as I experience Japan in its entirety. My purpose in capturing these thoughts and feelings is simple: I never want to forget what I felt, what I learned, and what I discovered in Japan...and because you have been given this web address, you must be someone that I hold close to my heart, someone that I cherish and love. For this reason I want you to share in my journey. I cannot promise that you will be entertained, uplifted, or even interested by what I have to say; I am simply offering to you an honest and intimate account of my experiences--straight from my heart and onto your computer screen.
