Before the search

What is it about Tokyo that entices the young people? Last week Jayson, my professor, said something interesting, "young people go to Tokyo to find themselves."
When I first signed up for this class, it was just to go to Japan. Things were happening in my life and I just thought going away was a good way to escape from it. As the months turned into weeks and now hours from the moment I walk off of the plane into a foreign land, I am finding out that I am doing this not only to escape, but to find something.

I've been going to school for so long and I have been jumping from major to major. I have an idea of what I want to do, but I have to choose something. Right now, my two choices are photography and architecture. Easy right? Why don't I just take photographs of architecture? Thats what I used to tell myself, but I want to make portraits of people. I don't like taking pictures of inanimate things. Also, I want to make sure I genuinely enjoy what I do. This leads me to state what I am searching for.

I envy those people who love what they do.
You can see it in their eyes and hear it when they talk.
Its passion.

I want it

I'm gonna find it
