The Land By the Mountain...

My mother always told me,

"when the time is right, things will be ok"

And that was always a magical word for me.

I knew that some times, life can be crap. COMPLETELY crap in fact.

Just last week, I just went for a visit to my home town, where I was born and raised til my family immigrated to NZ at age 9.

The whole time in Japan, I didn't know what I wanted. I just knew i had to go back to NZ at some point, I still call NZ my home, and I wanted to see my friends. But I didn't get that glitter of excitement or that burst in me, telling me

"it's time to go lady!!"

At the same time, I was not even 1% motivated to settle back into Japan or find new work here in Japan. Despite the fact that I did love living with my parents again. So day by day, I just let the days go by.

But then when I went to my home town, I was SUPER excited for being there. Seeing everything that I once knew, and was so familiar with.

I didn't care about the fact that my old friends didn't understand what's so fabulous about that old crusty country side, It was all the beauty that I wanted to see for so long.

Right at that moment, as I looked right across from Yatsugatake ranges, through to southern Alps, and straight at Mt Fuji, I got that feeling again.

I knew I've done everything I needed to do in Japan, and it's time for me to go home.

When I came back to Saitama again, I started looking for a job. And every single time, when I'm looking for a job, there is always at least 1 job that pops into my brain telling me to apply.

And I got something like that again. So the CV's are sent, and now it's just the waiting game.

I don't know when my next chapter will begin, but I'm hoping it will be soon!!
