living alone and wanting to make a change
Portia:
Please don’t be so hard on yourself! Dream with me a minute….what would be exciting? Fun? Just pure fun? Where are you laughing? What’s your picture? Is it outside, with green trees…or inside, with a cosy fire…or ….how many people, if any?...can I be there too please, it sounds good already! I jest, but I am serious (this is me off on a hunch, no training, no qualifications, no nothing, just reaching out over a long way, ok?)
Thanks for your reply Dawning. :) P
PS. I don't mean to be pushy....just a feeling!...bye for now, P

Dawning,
A couple of quick comments and questions if you do not mind.
You sound literally exhausted! Is it possible to ease up on yourself, just for a little while?
A question: How long have you been feeling this way?
Dawning:
THANKS for asking those questions, Portia. Thanks for reaching out. I am going to ask myself those questions. Need a bit of confidence but that is another thing, isn't it? The voiceless and our issues with confidence. The only thing I am confident about is getting on a plane and landing and having immigration stamp my passport thus "accepting me." I know that sounds pretty weird. I would like to at least buy a house somewhere. I sent an email tonight to a Japanese woman who bought property in Australia asking if I could meet her and discuss how she did this. We shall see if she responds.
Dawning.

Exhausted, yes, when I get home. When I am engaged in a project or completely involved in something at work, I have boundless energy but then I get home and this little voice inside me says, "don't do anything about your future. just be happy for now and the fact that you are safe."
thanks,
Dawning.
Tokyojim:
Dawning,
And how long have you been feeling or thinking this way? (If you don't mind my asking.)
That sounds like you are on the right track, meeting the lady and discussing hopeful things. Even if it does not pan out, it can be refreshing to have some plans, hopes, optimism.
It appears that you may be in Japan. I was there two weeks ago, in time for the cherry blossoms. Went to the Kichijoji park.
