Change

A: When I imagined that my life will be the repetition of the same thing everyday in the town that I live, I just couldn’t resist it. I know that it’s not about where you live. That it is the same everywhere. If you where in Tokyo, Oosaka, or New York. I know that it’s about me, myself.

B: Maybe yes, but I think changing place, will change the scenery you’ll see. There surely is people who can change by staying in one place. But not everyone. When you come to a dead end, just moving, or taking whatever action you want to make, can be a possible solution.

Sky-blue Hitchhiker, p.248-259


This line from the book Sky-blue Hitchhiker reminded me of my friend and my thoughts. I remembered the sensation, the tiredness I felt when I imagined myself doing the same thing everyday for the rest of the year. I tried to understand that these kind of normal and a little bit dull days were peaceful daily life called happiness, but apparently, it didn’t work. And I felt a little bit relieved when I read the part that said, “...but I think changing place, will change the scenery you’ll see.” I am really not sure how to describe this feeling, but I felt some kind of relaxation due to the thinking that I don’t need to feel bad for wanting a change, a drama in my life. It felt like a hot chocolate you drink in cold days, or better freezing days. Oh well, I would just need to conclude that my desire won my laziness to make an action.
