...So says the band Third Eye Blind . You can take a step forward to the future without leaving something behind.
I am stepping forward to my future, a future that is sure to be at least in part in Japan.
what am i leaving behind...? Family, friends, my boyfriend, my junior college DVC, a way of life that i have know for 20 years, my dependency, and hopefully my misconceptions and sterotypes.
...and i'll probably forget to take some things with me, like enough socks or patience ^_^
So welcome to my Blog, A Twist of Fate. This is ment to chronicle my life for my upcoming year aboad in Japan studying at Waseda Universty in Tokyo, and beyond. By recording my life, both in writing and in pictures i want to better understand myself, my environment, and those who affect me.
They say that these are the best years of your life. Maybe, maybe not. But no matter what happens i want to remember them, and make them memories to never regret.
So, to my shining future...Cheers and Kanpai!

>>it is interesting that you, who have never gone away from home for such a long time, are aware of the significance of living away home.....I never realized it had any significance that would later come to the surface as months passed.
There was a time around this past October i could think of nothing but just escaping CA for japan... i was having arguments with my family and was chasing a guy who was rejecting me (which only made me come on to him stronger "Notice me!" :-P) and i wanted to go back to japan RIGHT AWAY.
i bought a ticket and was going to go with a friend, but my mom wouldn't let me go. i still had to pay the ticket though, so i lost $700...
but somewhere along the way, i have discovered what i am leaving behind. i want to live conciously and keep in mind what is important to consider. i dont' want to live my life blind to my own feelings and motivations. "Know thyself" that's how i want to live.
"The road to the future lies in the past, so to know where you are going you have to know where you have been." they say. so i think that blogging is good to record your life so that you can look back and see where you have been to know where you are going.
