I love to travel, to see new places, new cultures, and meet new people. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or the financial means to do this as I wish.
One of my biggest dreams, however, is to one day visit Japan. It’s a country that has fascinated me for years.
If I were to find out tomorrow that I only have a year to live, I think the first thing I would do is buy a ticket to Japan. It’s sad to say that under the pressure of “if I were to die,” I would go immediately, but without that pressure, I can’t bring myself to do it. At least not now…
My children are still young, and we couldn’t go with them, especially not that far. I know some people do, but that’s not us. Leaving them behind is difficult for both us and them, especially since visiting a country like Japan requires at least two weeks.
One day, though, I will make it happen. I hope to still have the strength to do it; that is my only fear. As my children grow, perhaps we will all be able to go together and truly enjoy the experience.
Until then… I will remain with my dreams, feelings, and hopes.
また近いうちにお会いしましょう
