I love to plan things even when what I'm planning is how I'm gonna plan. It's comforting to know what the path ahead looks like despite not taking a step forward. It's a matter of preparation. By knowing how every route looks like beforehand, I know what to do should I ever be thrust into one unexpectedly.
Certainty is the only way to live a stress-free life. Isn't that what enlightenment is--a state in which you can see everything as it is? While we can't see into the future, we can certainly plan for it, and after realizing our premonitions enough times, the uncertainty of tomorrow begins to dissipate. Planning becomes less a prediction and more a fact.
So here's my plan: I'm going to write a post for JomattoPro, publish it, and do more research about my trip in Tokyo next year, which is the reason I'm feeling so motivated in the first place.
At the beginning of the year, all me and my friend had was a vague idea of going to Japan, but now that I'm digging into the research, the itinerary is starting to take shape. It's in a stage where anything is possible. The basic framework for Tokyo is mostly in place--it's just a matter of filling out the details. I haven't been this excited in a long ass time. Planning the trip is half the fun of traveling!
