I was talking to an old friend recently. He (as far as I knew) had the similar obsession/love with Japan but now in an e-mail that he wrote to me he brought up that he had had enough.
Had enough? I thought to myself.
The story goes he had always wanted to go to Japan since he was a kid, just like me and so we right then and there had grounds for friendship when we first met. He worked day and night, went to college, got all his degrees (and whatnot,) and as lady luck would have it all his efforts paid off, he was offered/hired by a large company in Japan which he then flew to Japan to work for. He mentioned, "It's my dream job... everything is perfect." and I'd always smile when I heard stories about how great everything was, how it was everything he had ever dreamed of having.. but then, in this e-mail that I mentioned a moment ago he said he had had enough. He said that he was no longer interested in Japan, being in Japan, being a part of Japan, working for Japan and seeing Japan everyday.
So I wondered.... I love Japan. Do I really?
Will there be a day in which I've grown tired of Japan?
Will my love for Japan turn into hate for Japan?
Is it possible for me to keep a healthy "relationship" with Japan for the rest of my life?
I can't imagine my life without Japan. I really love Japan. Sure I'm sort of obsessed with it, but it's attached to my love for everything Japan and I'm afraid to think of it changing one day and the possibility that I might hate it.
Great minds think alike and so I wanted to ask anyone willing to offer an answer.. The question I want to ask is:
Will you ever get tired of Japan? And move on to something else?
My answer is that I won't. Never in a million years.
