Reflection
From the Hagakure, second chapter:
"Human life is truly a short affair. It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like. But it is important never to tell this to young people as it is something that would be harmful if incorrectly understood.
Personally, I like to sleep. And I intend to appropriately confine myself more and more to my living quarters and pass my life away sleeping."
Metaphorically, I'm sleeping my life away. I'm doing what I enjoy. It's clear to me now that bothering with stressful and over-dramatic situations is useless and harmful to my health, just as much as not taking care of my diabetes is. My life has hit a patch of calm and clearness that I intend to make last as long as possible.
I have a great love for all my friends and family and I'm certain you all know this. I hope you all understand my intentions when I disappear from home like this. I find clarity when I'm not in a familiar place.
I'll return home soon without fanfare and celebration. I just want to come home like I hadn't left at all.
