Kyoto 8th day and after the journey

At the last day, I travelled through the city by bike for getting souvenirs. As a person who is always suffering from the steep slopes in Tokyo, the slopes in Kyoto is almost nothing. I believe the best transportation at city are is definitely bicycle.

After the return to the accommodation, I as usual spend the afternoon idly at the community space. It was very comfortable to abandon myself to the relaxing time. Actually, it’s hard to recall when I could indulge in being myself naturally the last time.

I guess, the meeting with the people from the accommodation is absolutely serendipitous. The life they live in is totally different from mine.
Although I’m reasonably proud of and satisfied with my life, I realised that the slow life like them would be nice as well. Since I’ve been just pursuing my calling earnestly, the finding triggered a kind of identity crisis.

Nevertheless, I should also consider two things. People tend to desire what they don’t have. Besides I’m highly susceptible. In fact they also have problems on their mind.

All in all, the conclusion I came up at the bus going to Tokyo is, wherever I am I enjoy everyday and have hope for tomorrow. I haven’t yet achieved anything in Tokyo. My battery has been fully recharged and I can run out again until the next break point.
