So I'm two days late with this post but I'll do the entry anyways. Well I have not even a week left until the ICU festival. Honestly, as expected, not everything goes the way you want. That's life. But when you really experience all of that for a very long time, it gets to you (haha).
This reminded me of Hibiya sensei's lecture that we listened to on Monday. The one part about her lecture that echoed in my mind was her vision for education. She presented that a university is a place that people discover his or her calling.
Now that, reminded me of something else. Before I moved to Japan from New York, I had the choice of staying in the states or moving back to Japan. For some reason, despite my immaturity at the time, I was grown up to think that moving to the other side of the world would give me a better view on life. I thought it would allow me to look at the world from a whole new perspective.
This turned about to be true. However, the sad/good? part about this is that, I found most of it through dancing. If I didn't join the dance club in high school, I definitely would not be interested in leadership, communication skills, creativity, etc. Maybe I might have been drawn to something else. Who knows.
Right now, I don't regret a thing about starting dancing. However, I do feel like I'm in need of a different calling these days. On the other side, I also feel like dancing is a tool that allows me to find callings of other sorts as well. I know I can't be dancing forever like this, but I know that if I don't, I might lose another opportunity on the downside. It's a hard knock life.
But all I can say is, if something is thrown at you, hit it back as hard as you can. Because that's probably what people want to see, and that will probably work best for you at the end. This is one of the mindsets I want to keep for the rest of my college life. Hopefully I can find a another calling:)
