As I'm sure everyone saw because An has already mentioned something earlier, but I thought that I would also throw another reminder out there. We are celebrating her birthday at the beach tomorrow and would love for all of you to be there. Just as we had hoped, the weather has held strong - it should be a beautiful day.

We had a lovely day celebrating with our family. Gran, as always, is concerned that I'm not actively contributing to society. I could be the most successful man in the nation and she would still think this of me. It's rather heartwarming that she still believes me to be the rebel thirteen year old I once was.

Ah, is it July already? Hmm. The month has flown by. It's rather troublesome.

[ My gift to An was a trip down home later in the summer and I was wondering if you would like to join us. We would love to have you come along. We don't have solid plans yet other than going to Kumamoto, but I was thinking that it might be nice to spend a day or two in Fukuoka by the beach, as well. How does that sound to you? ]

Best of luck to those who are playing at Wimbledon. We will be cheering you on every step of the way.

Isn't it funny how that works? I think it has something to do with being from the south. We're very prideful and if someone does happen to leave, it makes us wonder why they could ever leave. Of course, this brings up the question as to why I remain in Tokyo, but here we are.

That makes sense to me. That, and you are very close to Eishirou and Kai, so I imagine that eats up a large chunk of time.

I'll be heading back south after University, but I do really enjoy living here in Tokyo. It just sort of grows on you. The access to shopping helps as well.

I probably don't spend as much time with them as I could. Maybe I've fallen in the trap, of knowing I can just meet up with them at some other time in the future, so I don't need to see them now.

I haven't made any solid plans myself, but I did consider moving back home for university. I've always imagined myself settling down in a home off the beach. Tokyo is a lovely city, I do agree. The shopping here is great, especially when you're looking for something more unique.

Ah, I understand how it can be easy to fall into that pattern. I try my best to not do so myself, as things can happen with a blink of an eye. I would hate to miss out on spending time with the people that I love because of something seemingly more important at the time.

Having the beach just a short walk away would be the dream. A good beach though, with decent surf.

It's a difficult thing to balance. I suppose I should start prioritising people in my life a bit better.

Wouldn't it? That's what I think, as well. Preferably with soft sand, though all beaches are good beaches in my opinion. I do love the water.

I think doing such things will ultimately make any person happier. Of course, if you're more the introverted sort, then you need that recharge time, as well. You'll know best what's right for you.
