I have been in Japan since December 28th. I was staying in the Kansai region with three friends until January 8th, whereafter I took a Shinkansen to Tokyo and will be staying here until the 18th.
I could blog for pages and pages about Japan, from the picturesque and peaceful temples of Kyoto to the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo, but insead I find myself carried away in thought.
One of my main resolutions for 2010:
LEARN TO LOVE MYSELF.
It may sound pathetic, it may sound self centered, but it is something I need to do. Since staying in Japan, I realized the reason I have liked to travel here so often is because of the friends I have made here. They help me feel some confidence in myself, not because of their praises or thanks, but because of the subtle way in which they appreciate me being here and the little things that I do.
I have always considered low self esteem one of my major afflictions. Not that I want to have a big head or anything, but I need to gain some more confidence. It is time I follow in route with my favorite saying and accept myself and the things I cannot change, change the things I can, and realize the difference between the two.
