They say that February is the coldest month in Kagawa. This past week has been the most gorgeous weather since November.
They say that you do not know what you have until it is gone. I think you cannot understand the importance of what you have until you realize you will not have it forever.
Today I took advantage of the clear sky and crisp air. With my newfound appreciation for Japan, stemming from my decision to leave this country within a matter of months, I did something I have not done since those temperate days of November. I went for a run.
The sounds coming from my headphones, paired with friendly nods from farmers encouraging my exploration, allowed me to step out of my winter slump a month earlier than expected.
Japan, maybe I had to make the decision to leave you to begin to appreciate you.
