Scenario:drifting in japan
Create my version of this story
The small town of Little Falls, New York, was a place that rarely saw new faces.
People tended to stay in the town where they were born and raised, carrying on the same traditions and routines over and over again.
I had always thought that I would do the same, but after finishing college, the idea of settling down in my hometown had begun to seem like a nightmare come true.
I was 25 years old now, and all my friends were getting married and having kids, while I was still living with my parents.
Instead of getting a job right after college like most of my friends, I decided to take some time off to think about what I really wanted to do with my life.
What I found was that I didn’t want to do anything that most people would consider normal.
Most of my friends went to college for a practical major like business or nursing, but I wanted to do something different.
I didn’t want to be stuck in an office for the rest of my life working for some big corporation.
I wanted to see the world and have some adventures while I was still young enough to enjoy them.
Deciding what I wanted to do with my life was the easy part; actually doing it was a different story.
I had always been shy and introverted, and I had never really done anything adventurous or impulsive before.
I was always the type of person who tried to play it safe and follow all the rules, but now I was starting to realize that maybe I had been missing out on something important all along.
Things started to change for me on a warm summer afternoon when I was home alone watching videos on YouTube.
I don’t remember exactly how it happened, but somehow I ended up watching a video about Japan.
I had never really been interested in Japan before, but after watching the video and learning more about the country’s history and culture, I felt like something inside me had changed.
It was as if I suddenly realized that there was a whole world out there waiting for me to explore, and that I didn’t have to stay in Little Falls if I didn’t want to.
I decided right then and there that I was going to go to Japan as soon as possible.
When I told my parents and friends about my plans, they thought I had lost my mind.
They told me that I was being impulsive and reckless, and that it would be better for me to stay home and try to find a job like everyone else instead of wasting my time on some crazy fantasy that would never come true.
