we've found ourselves in a place that says that independence is all important. that we must be strong and fight off the "demons" that come and haunt us. these could be demons of our pasts, demons in relationships, or demons from hopes gone wrong. i dont know, but being here in Tokyo, without closeness has really shown me that being independent is exhausting. It makes me think about Christ, and when Jesus was here on this earth, he needed others. He needed God. of course. and he needed help as he climbed the hill to die. he was vulnerable... and that stills me.

its possible this doesn't make sense. forgive me. i have food poisening... blast and drats. but my brain has officially shut down for the evening...
