a goal in mind
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
— Dr. Suess
Hi! I’m Ivy, a 17 year old blogging my entire trip in Japan. This isn’t my first rodeo in Japan, I’ve been to Tokyo before, but this time I’m heading to Osaka — kind of the little sister of Tokyo. My goal for recording this trip (besides gaining CAS experience) is that I want to preserve my memories and feelings in words. The countless pictures I take always end up sitting in my camera roll, gathering dust. I always have a hard time remembering the experience, the significant memories, and what I feel, and major events always feel like a hazy dream to me, the significance and overwhelming feelings always dwindle. I’m keeping this blog not only to store those memories in detail, but to also remind myself to appreciate and actually take in what I’m looking at.
Maybe when I’m old and have Alzheimer’s, I’ll read this like a story (sucks I’m a bad storyteller though). Maybe I’ll cherish these memories more if I put them into words.
Thank you for reading, I really appreciate it! There’s more to come and I’m excited to write all about it.
