the meeting

another man, another story. and I am tired already...

so yesterday, I was working voluntarily for a project for less-fortunate children. There I met this very interesting person. Since the very beginning, I felt like I catched his attention. So did the second day of our meeting. He was in my group and we talked alot during our way home. What an interesting person. One man who is ambitious enough to let go stable job to start his own business

There is one sentence that strike me the most. He said, "in life, there is either 0% or 100%. Either you don't do it at all or you do it wholeheartedly". I reminded me of someone I miss the most. Someone who knows where to go in life. We talked about our job, how we felt the same under appreciation from people just because we become successful at our young age. I truly admire him, despite the fact that he felt under pressure for mentioning his educational background. To be honest, being a graduate from the same faculty and same university, I know exactly how the system works. I know his educational background and for sure I know he is much younger than me. But still, I admire him for being so brave to choose his own way of life. Out of comfort zone. Something that I am afraid of. Now, that I start to find the rhythm with the office, I am afraid of losing my post with the office.

Tough, I still have a dream that one day I will be in Japan again. Now with much consideration whether I will be there alone or with someone that I will grow old with.

If I ever have a sentence to describe how I feel: I feel like I am seeing the light at the end of very long tunnel. Yet, I could not yet comprehend on light. Whether it comes from the lone sunlight or a train that pass by to take me away with it. To another life in different places.

when will I get the answer? only God knows.. and only God knows what meaning lies behind the meeting with this man
