A grand journey across the land~ Hope is going to Japan March 12, 2019

When the dream of my youth finally feels within reach, I am going to ride that star across dreams to my reality—

Emotion: Nervous but excited.

So for about a year now I had been thinking and planning to go on a long awaited trip to Japan.
I have many things running through my mind right now as I am hours away from my flight. It has been a big roller coaster just from the end of last year up until now due to various health problems I had been having and I had gotten worried that I might have to just cancel everything.. but I was told to just go ahead.
I’ve saved up funds and searched up so much regarding what I really have been wanting to see for the past like 15 years and everything in between. All from when I was an admiring anime lover to hoping that one day I could see and fulfill the dream of being around one of the things I hold dear. Of course as the years went on I admired more than just the anime aspects, the beauty of the land and nature. All of the respect and how organized everything is, it’s all such a big wonder and has been for a long time.
Being silent about this trip and only mentioning it to a few people has kept my stress over everything lower than it definitely would have been otherwise. As I already have enough health issues to worry about I didn’t need stress to aggravate things further. So here I am, this is really happening. I knew I would be able to go on a trip such as this eventually but of course I just didn’t know when. Since it is finally here, I am of course nervous and a bit stressed as what comes with any long distance travel. I will be away from my home for about a month and in a land that I have only seen from afar.
I definitely am worried for like my cats and my family and friends being here still. Though I did offer an invitation to most of my friends to join me, only a few had accepted it. I am still a bit sad about that but I know it couldn’t be helped. I know how busy life can be and how hard it is to align a good time to meet up together, especially for a long duration like this. However, even though the ones I really wanted to come with could not make it this time around, there will definitely be a next time where we can all successfully go together. To have a big party, a journey, like our old school MMO’s we are so fond of. All in real life however~ of course.

I am going to attempt to get into the habit again, to log what I do and what I see. After all I am going on such a big trip here I feel it would be a little wasteful if I didn’t archive anything to remember. Photos and videos, memories written down and even thoughts that pass my mind as I live out in a place that the culture and normalities are vastly different from where I come from. Little comforts like that and memories I will cherish I am sure.
This is just the beginning of course, a month is quite a long time after all. Maybe I will feel it is too much and want to come back early. Who really knows I guess, this is quite a big thing for a little introvert like me.

I do hope for the best and that I of course won’t be ill on the trip, the same for my friends who are coming with. Ah.. I can’t push off many of my worries. This is gonna be a long flight too.. 12 hours to be exact.
I just am trying to put my mind at ease.. but airports do stress me out lol. Thankfully it seems like it is going to be a clear night weather wise, but I doubt the view is gonna be anything spectacular aside from it being a big dark void of abyss lol. Flying over the ocean at night and all. I do wonder if the stars could at least be seen, I guess I’ll find out.
That and it is the first time I’ll be in the international area of the airport, I don’t know how that differs from the usual but I am hoping it isn’t as bad.
Well I think this sums up a good portion of my thoughts for now, I definitely want to write more as time goes along and I look forward to logging this journey.
For that I guess I will use a unique tag for this occasion. #AngelHopeinJapan should do it.
Thanks for watching this journey happen with me, I hope it is as enjoyable to see from afar as it is fun in person.
I want to thank my really good friends for being here with me to, I hope the ones who couldn’t make it enjoy all the stuff I’ll try to bring back for them as well as all the eye candy I’ll attempt to share.
This will definitely make my accounts rather active, even if its for this time. I am quite excited for this to all begin.
I’ll see you all later~
Airport dungeon begins in 4 hours ish.
