Gou ni itte wa, gou ni shitagae
This entry is being posted from my hotel room in Singapore. Yes. Singapore.
When I came to Singapore, it was on a plane that left from Osaka, Japan. Yes. Japan.
I don't really know how to explain how this trip has felt. It's been an amazing blessing, to say the very least. The people, the places, the learning... it's all been beyond my expectations. My view of the world has become broadened by fifty fold. I feel like my grasp on the world has been limited until this trip. There's so so so much out there that I knew existed, but I never truly understood.
We keep looking back on the past few years and scratching our heads. We've all said it at one point or another on this trip, so I'm going to go ahead and say it here: If someone had told me 4 years ago that I'd be in Japan playing sold-out shows with Copeland, I would have laughed in their face. But it happened. And now we're in Singapore about to headline a 3-day festival. This is more than I could have hoped for.
I'm starting to miss home, though. Specificly, I'm missing Brooke. A lot. I've never been this far away from anything in my life. I've gotten to talk to her on the phone once on this trip, and that was for all of 8 minutes. We've gotten to talk a few times on AIM, but that only helps so much. I want more than talking to her. I want to look into her beautiful eyes and see that look that she gives me that shows me how much she loves me. I want to touch her skin and hold her hand. I want to just know that she's there when I need her, which is always. I'm not ready to come home, but I definitely am ready to come home.
