Unveiled

Wow, I'm sitting here laughing because I'm thinking about how growing up is such a long process. It certainly doesn't happen over night or in a few years for that matter. After moving to Japan and starting this blog I've been able to actually see the progression.

It's a Saturday night and I'm at home, alone, relaxing. If you know me and my life here in Japan, you'd realize how rare an occassion this is. I am almost ALWAYS away from home on the weekends. It's just a given. I can't turn down an invitation and the thought of missing out on anything always gets the best of me. But today after waking up with such excitement at the thought of partying in Tokyo, my day did a complete 360. No kidding. There was no Tokyo, no meeting up with friends, no trying out new restaurants and dancing the night away. For one reason or other, I ended up staying home. Now I'm SooOOooo glad I did. I had a wonderful conversation with an old friend of mine that brought home some very insiteful points.

One phrase that would sum it all up is that "You're worth it." Wether it's in regards to my career, school, love life or friends. I knew that what she said made sense, but I don't know why it didn't hit home until she said it this afternoon. Why I didn't believe that until now.
