music: jimmy eat world- let it happen
I told you how i have these amazing moments here, where i get goosebumps and it hits me, what i’m actually doing. I had the most incredible one today. it even tops my half-drunken heart explosion at asakusa in tokyo.
Today I was on my bike riding to the station to catch a train to go meet kanika in nagoya. it was a beautiful day, the sun was out, it wasnt too cool… and see, okazaki has this big river, and i live on one side of the river, and the station is on the other side of the river, and there are a few bridges to cross this river. So i cross a bridge on my bike, its a really beautiful view, so i look over and smile, and all of a sudden this huge flock of beautiful birds, i dont even know what kind of birds they were, takes off, like over 50 of them, and they fly over the bridge and completely surround me and fly with me to the other side. It was amazing, completely surreal, i got a million goosebumps all over my body and my eyes teared up behind my sunglasses and my heart was in my throat. It was like a scene from a movie. It was the kind of moment that doesn’t happen in real life, only because of carefully planned cinematography. Im not exaggerating any of this. it was incredible.
See… I told you I could fly.
