Good to hear that I am not the only one with this change. I just don’t know how to get back to the same feeling when I enjoy every single things I see around me 🙁

I agree with you about writing to find out what you think. That’s what I’m trying to do in Japan.

I’m enjoying your blog. Thanks for your work.

In reply to Ashley Honeysett.

Hi Ashley,

When I wrote this it was a bit of a turning point for me. I don’t think that I realized exactly what my problem had been until I wrote it. That happens to me a lot.

I don’t write what I think about–I write to find out what I think.

I do make a bit of an effort to be more aware of all the great things going on around me. Of course, I’m not the same as I used to be, but I think that’s a good thing. I’m not enamored with everything around me all the time, but I have my moments, and they come often enough. I think now I actually have a more balanced perception of things. That’s probably good, seeing as I want to make a living as a writer.

How are you enjoying Japan? Do you still have that silly grin?

So how do you feel now that you’ve realized this? Is the grin back, or has it been replaced by something different? Do you consciously remind yourself to be curious every day?

This reminds me of a young man I met in Far North Queensland. He told me he was travelling around trying to find himself. I took him to the tourist map in town and told him he you stop searching. I pointed to the red dot that read’ “You are here.”
