On the other hand, if you know yourself and why your life is going in circles (or cycles) then what difference does time make?
I’d write more, but I’ve already written about this here, here, and here.
*sigh*
Time to shut my brain down.

*That* is already within you. Sounds like The Blue Bird, the fairy tale, but that was what I learnt after living in England for three years, though I had acturally gone there to find *the answer*. It was nowhere, but every where.
By the way, why should it be bad or a vicious circle when that is just that? :)
I hear you on that. I went to Japan thinking I’d be happier there. And, in some respects, I was. But I also knew that I couldn’t (or didn’t want to) stay there. In hindsight, maybe it would have been better to stay. But I know I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate it.
And anyway, a lot of good and important things happened in my life as a result of leaving Japan, coming back to the US, and then living in Taiwan…and then returning to the US again. Even though I wanted to stay in one place, too many good things happened when I moved around for me to regret the way my life has gone.
Yeah, it doesn’t have to be bad. I mentioned at the end of one of my blog posts that “if I can accept the life I seem to have, I can be happy with it.” (second link in this blog post).
