A long time ago in a different life (or at least i A long time ago in a different life (or at least it feels that way) I was riding in a car at night with @whereissionnie to meet up with @ruthielindsey and @1924us for bonfires and general cabin shenanigans outside of Nashville. 

I remember the drive so well. It’s a conversation that always stuck with me. We talked about trauma and crisis. And I don’t know much, but I shared the only thing I know, a thing that has served me well through the natural undulations life is bound to bring.

And that is simply sometimes you have to cling to the mast. You aren’t doing anything but surviving but that’s the most important work of all. Because the storm WILL pass. And you‘ll be left standing.

And when it does you can mend the sails. Untangle the ropes. And get on with the business of sailing.

I’ve learned to give myself permission to do nothing but make it through. To sleep a little too late. To dance in front of the mirror and feel myself even when I look ridiculous. To load and unload the dishwasher and allow that to be a great victory. To dress like a cartoon character in nothing but white t-shirts and denim shorts.  To eat mac & cheese from a box and frozen chicken nuggets sometimes. To not respond to text messages. To flail and get back up over and over. To ask for help. A lot.

And also permission to feel it all. Rage. Grief. Joy. Hope and hopelessness. And sometimes all within the span of a few minutes. 

And most of all, whether navigating calm waters or stormy ones, what matters more than anything is the crew you’re doing it with. Surround yourself with solid people.

People that challenge you with compassion. And humor. People whose strengths buttress your weakness. People that don’t judge you. That believe in you even when you think they’re maniacs for doing so.

I know a disproportionate amount of us have had rough seas this year. Cling to the mast in the storm. Choose your crew wisely. No storm ever lasted forever. But there never was a last storm in the world. Accept that they will come and be prepared.

I don’t remember landing in Tokyo. I don’t remember the flight. But the moment my feet hit the pavement marked the first leg of what would be a three month journey. What I do remember is that I had just said good-bye, and that I was heartsick, drunk on lights, and hungry.

The night before I left Tennessee, he & I stayed together, and he drove me to the airport the next morning. I usually took the shuttle; it was something new & wonderfully horrible to have anyone to say good-bye to. That morning I awoke pre-dawn, easing myself out of the bed so as to not wake him but staring at him for what seemed like a long while. I finished packing methodically in the dark—my life for three months summed up in a backpack. I ran a last minute errand to the 24 hr. drug store as daylight broke. I felt in control, like I could do it, like I could leave for three months without falling apart. I woke him and showered. He grabbed us coffee & pastries from his shop, and we left.

On the two hour drive to the Atlanta international terminal, we smiled as much as we could, listened to the radio—pop music exclusively at my request—and talked, my hand on the back of his head the whole way. Our tenor was frantically positive. I couldn’t look down. I was going to Japan! A lifelong dream. But I was leaving him, the man I’d only just found, for what felt like an eternity. My emotions weren’t on the up and up as to what to do with all that information. At that point, I didn’t even know what we were, but I knew we were in love. Still, three months is a long time, and I didn’t feel I had any right to claim him. We’d only known each other for a few whirlwind weeks. I remember telling him if he saw other people while I was gone that was fine but to please not tell me. I was trying to be whatever it is I thought a grown up was. Reasonable. Measured. Detached even. It was a laugh. I was out of my mind in love. And leaving, leaving, leaving. So far away for such a long time. The only way to look was forward.

As we drew closer to the airport, he cried at a red light while singing along with an inane song which in turn made me laugh-cry. None of it was very dignified, and all of it was very sweet. That song would, in my mind, become our song, and I would listen to it hundreds of times as I wandered the world over the next three months. Within 15 hours of watching him drive away, I was standing in the heart of Tokyo for the first time in my life, hundreds of people pulsing through the fluorescent night streets. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being sleep deprived, in love, and alone in Tokyo. It seemed as it should be.

Hungry. That’s right. I was hungry. I wandered Shibuya with it’s arcades and drunks and drug stores. I found myself a tourist in what I can only assume was the Japanese equivalent of a Walgreens. It was all fascinating to me. There seemed to be a lot of products dedicated to the beautification of feet. It was excellent. I possessed the dumb wonder of a child those first few jet lagged hours. I sent him photos of everything thing I saw and ate. I was alone, but I wasn’t. The entire three months I was gone ended up being that way. From the other side of the world, he was my constant companion, always by my side.

For my first meal, I ducked into an unassuming noodle bar, a Japanese diner of sorts. It was dark and there was one narrow bar facing the kitchen where great pots steamed beneath shelves lined with ceramic bowls and one man with a kerchief on his hand tended the pots with military precision. The counter was lined with utilitarian pitchers of ice water, and one lone middle-aged Japanese man sat at the far end of the bar, head down over a bowl of noodles. It had to have been no earlier than 1 AM.

It took me a moment to figure out the system, how to order. I finally discerned, through not-so-surreptitious watching of another fellow noodle goer that trickled in, that I needed to insert my yen into what looked like a vending machine plastered with shoddy photos of each dish. I studied them carefully. My obvious lack of literacy in Japanese meant I was ordering by sight alone. I went for one with a broth that dark shade of red that promises heat topped with a creamy poached egg, fatty pork, and bright scallions. During my time in Japan, I ended up going back to that ramen bar three times, always for that bowl.

That first evening I got yelled at for trying to snap a photo, quickly learned to mind my manners, and then found myself shame-facedly googling “how to properly eat ramen” on my iphone beneath the counter. I realized that despite my illustrious career as a collegiate ramen consumer, I didn’t really know the drill. After a quick scan of ramen-eating-how-to’s (which are things that exist), I too slurped dutifully, my head down, chopsticks in one hand, spoon in the other. Once full & finally back in my concrete room overlooking the city, I collapsed, exhausted. My first night in Japan.

The next two days would be spent exploring the Tsukiji fish market (where I consumed copious amounts of sashimi, stubbornly obtained myself a delectable bowl of what I can only call “delicious brown fish parts on rice” from an old woman despite the language barrier, and ate absolutely every curiosity I passed by from sweet omelet slices to sticky grilled eel); seeking out little coffee houses, minimalist shops, and slow food eateries friends recommended; wandering Asakusa & Shimokitazawa; and generally letting both the city & I mutually swallow one another whole. After two short days I hopped a train, that inane pop song on repeat in my ear, and headed to the Kiso Valley…

Find my Tokyo recommendations below. They are hardly comprehensive, but they are some of the best places I found & loved in Tokyo. Add your own recommendations in the comments so we can all share what we love in this vibrant, diverse city…as this was certainly the first of many explorations to come!

    Goodness, how touching your love story is, Beth, and how beautifully-evocative your writing; I felt like I was right there beside you, on that very first night, tired, and thoughtful, and trying to find my feet. It is always a pleasure to read your words, and even more so when they are coupled with your remarkable photography. Glorious. All so glorious.

    This was heartwrenching and heartlifting to read. I swear to you, as you described that drive to the airport I was going in my mind “she’s gonna start singing along to some song and then burst into tears while he drives.” Alas, seems it was the other way around, and that, my dear, brought a couple of tears to my eyes…

    I love your list of places to visit too- I explored the city and also found and fell in love with Omotesando Koffee. So minimalistic and beautiful!

    Beth,

    lovely post and I’m going to give you some advice. Not because I consider myself wiser or more lived than you but because it once served me well. If you are in a relationship that is still at that new stage, where you feel new baby vulnerable and every sentence they speak becomes loaded with cryptic double speak and meaning, say what you mean.

    Don’t say “it’s okay to see other people but don’t tell me” if it really isn’t okay. If the thought breaks your heart, don’t say it as some form of test or an attempt to pre-emptively wrap yourself in a thick triple ply comfort blanket. Keep it plain, keep communication easy to understand, keep it honest and infuse your words with what you really think and feel. Don’t test them. Don’t try to gauge love by throwing comments like this at them in the hope that they’ll respond with the answer you want them to give. It might backfire.

    I hope it all works out for you my lovely.

It’s also great that you didn’t let your conflicted feelings about leaving spoil your dream and that in fact it heightened a new dream. Beautiful photos and beautiful thoughts.

    I was going to write you that today I ´Ve done nothing of all the tasks I had written down to start with. I was going to tell you how anguish I feel, anxious. I was so long so disoriented that I had to stop and looked for one of your posts, ” to calm me down” I thought. I red one or two. I discover that I need slowness, to get to love my work and that it means to do it slow, in sequences ( can never do a good drawing in one time). . I tought that maybe I don´t have to design 20 prints for the textile show, but maybe just five…. and then when I was about to shut down the computer to attend my kids, I tought that I have done some very important tasks today: to reorganize my priorities, to reorganize my lists. thank you.

    Wonderful photos and writing! I had a similar experience, except in reverse. I landed in Tokyo on my own in 2009 nursing a broken heart, after finally ending my first grown-up, 4 year relationship. I stayed in Asakusa and my first day was spent wandering the neighbourhood, trying to order in what turned out to be an unagi restaurant and feeling embarrassed by my lack of etiquette. It was the best time of my life and Japan more than filled the hole in my heart. I’m looking forward to reading Part 2 next 🙂

    I heard somewhere else that Japan is often ranked high in the list of most-wanted-to-come city in the world. Your post has totally captured all Japan in its most beauty and unique. Together with that, I love the way you narrate your story which is absolutely moved and attractive to the last words. You are good both at photographing and writing story. Oh, God. I’m wondering if I should go there anymore…as everything is here already.

    Hi Beth,

    I don’t know if you already know or someone in here mentioned, but in your 1st and 9th picture (the lamp with the notes), the upper central note is in ancient Greek (“Ερως ανίκατε μάχαν) and is a famous quote from Sophocle’s tragedy Antigone, which means “love, invincible in battle”. An ode to love if you will. Just thought I should mention it. Be well. Much love from Greece.
