All from the same unbelievably incredible hike in Kuju National Park in Kumamoto prefecture, Kyushu. I was honestly bursting with joy the whole time.

Last October, while driving home after a day of sightseeing and adventures with some visiting friends, I passed this triangle shaped diner. I guess we’d already eaten because I didn’t suggest we stop. I pointed at it and exclaimed as it slipped out of sight. I thought about it several times after that, but not knowing exactly where it was I couldn’t deliberately seek it out again. Every time I drove through the same area I kept my eyes peeled, but never saw it. About a month ago one of my closest friends and her boyfriend came to visit. I planned a fun camping trip on the norther Kyoto coast. Driving through light drizzle we discussed lunch plans. “I know a famous soba town along the way, or a mom and pop ramen place” I suggested. When suddenly the magnificent triangle diner came into vision, it’s low hanging lights and indoor plans enticing me in. I violently turned into the adjacent parking lot while explaining the story of the diner to my friends. As soon as we entered I knew that it was exactly what I had imagined and more. 80s pop softly played in the background. Regular customers sat smoking cigarettes and reading newspapers. We ordered curry rice and it was served on pastel melamine plates. Everything was perfect.

いや遠に 里は離りぬ いや高に 山も越え来ぬ 夏草の 思ひ萎へて 偲ふらむ 妹が門見む 靡けこの山

Steeper and steeper. I know she thinks of me, far off, And wilts with longing, like summer grass. Maybe if the mountains would bow down I could see her again, Standing in our doorway.

I’ve stopped being sorry for all my soft. I won’t apologise because I miss you, or because I said it, or because I text you first, or again. I think everyone spends too much time trying to close themselves off. I don’t want to be cool or indifferent, I want to be honest. If I love you at 5AM, I’d damn well rather that you know I felt it. If I love you two hours later, I’ll tell you then too. Listen, I won’t wait double the time it takes for you to text me back because I don’t want to. I don’t care enough to be patient with you. I’m happy, you made me feel that way, don’t you want to know? So that’s how it’s going to be. I’m going to leave myself as open as a church door. And I’m going to wake you up before the crack of dawn to tell you that I’m fucking joyful, no pretending, not from me, not ever. Would you like some coffee, would you please kiss me? Here, these are my hands, this is my mouth, it is all yours.
