Crossing the streams

Breaking out of my pandemic furrow, I'm going back to Japan

You know how in Ghostbusters, they say you should never cross the streams?

I’ve never believed that.

I’ve always crossed my streams. Introducing my friends from disparate parts of my lives to each other. Bring my psychological lens to disaster management. I’ve always crossed over the various streams of my life with each other.

I would have been a shit spy. I am rubbish at compartmentalising. And I don’t think that is a bad thing.

But I have become too compartmentalised. My life, though rich and satisfying, is not as big as it once was. I have learned to live with this smallness.

To a certain extent, my smallness became invisible to me. It was comforting. Easy. Secure. And necessarily safe.

But I’m ready to extend myself. Long story short, I’m going back to Japan. I made this little video, partly to inspire myself too. More on this in the lead up to August. In the meantime, enjoy.
