hello kiddos-
as you may or may not know, i’m moving back across the country to san francisco. it’s been a long time in the works and has taken months of agonizing decision-making to get to this point, but i am now living in an apartment with shit strewn every which way, trying to piece together the fractured segments of my life that are on the floor and partially in boxes. i am homeless and yet still live here. the difficulty in transition, for me, is never in the change once committed, but in the transitional period itself. if i was on a plane or if i had a bed, things would be simpler – regardless of where i was bound to be or bound to remain.
but that’s the problem, isn’t it? if we could all flip a switch and try a new reality, we’d all be a lot less prone to commit. and we appreciate those who seem to be able to defy our wont to be dynamic – they buck the trend.
regardless, i’ve had to bookend this experience somehow, and as such, here is a special and deeply personal edition of it’s ok to cry. i hope you love it.

I hope your transition back home is going well. I too am trying to put together the pieces of my own life that became mangled and confused in my long absence abroad. I guess Tokyo was the beginning of the end for all who embarked on that trip….damn.
So far I am transitioning (this time) by using my ed. degree to teach children and enrolled back in University for a degree in Nursing. Success in these courses give me a sense of commitment and makes my transition almost barable.
Stay busy dude…and good luck.
