I’m 30, a teacher, traveler and sometimes writer. Been married once and in and out of relationships constantly since I was 14. After my last relationship ended I realized that I keep making the same mistakes over and over and I need to do something different. So I’m doing this.
I’d like to know that I can be alone. I’d like to fix the things about myself that need fixing. And I’d like to someday have a functional relationship and a family. I have no idea where this will take me. Maybe I’ll discover that I’m meant to walk alone. Maybe I’ll grow in unforeseen ways. I’m excited about the possibilities.
Rules: Document each day in 100 words or less. No relationships, sex or emotional entanglements for one year. And maybe more than that. We’ll see.
A Single Year 
This is a such great place to do it. Every minute of every day you can find people doing something interesting that makes you think differently about life, but unlike in the States or Europe, you have to really go out of your way to cross the cultural barrier into real relationship land. So many people come to Japan trying to do that, and it ends up being the one thing that eludes them. What you’re doing will change the way you think and see the world for sure! Ganbatte, ne?
ganbarimasu 🙂 and thank you.
No emotional entanglements
