Hello!

It has indeed taken me a long while. To be at ease with myself and where I am at currently. As I sit here, in my probably almost 3rd hour in the office for the day, many things run through my mind. Just to preoccupy myself, as meaningfully as possible.

Using my most recent departure from the little red dot as a measure. Today is my 218th day in Japan. It is also my 204th day in Tokyo. If you do the math, all other days were spent in quarantine in another prefecture. That’s how far I have come. Well, I am approximately 7 hours away from where I originate from. That makes it even further geographically. Though only 1 hour away from each other in terms of timeframe.

I start typing, as a realise I have been neglecting this space instead of utilising it, since I’ve already since paid a good bargain to own this little space on the world wide web, the Internet. It’s amazing if how you think about it, this kind of luxury didn’t quite exist two to three decades ago. It was expensive then. The speed at which things progress just amazes you sometimes. The speed at which time passes, where you do not actually realise it has.

Funny, how, there were times when memory flashes of prior experiences would almost unwittingly yet vividly show up, as I live through the present. At times as a hint of a déjà vu. At times, as an unwanted sliver of regret of not having done it earlier. At times, as an apparent silver lining where that warmth of gratefulness clouds you, letting you know your decisions were for good cause.

I’m not sure where these posts will lead me. I just felt like penning them down. So, there we have it.
