The dream I want to make reality

Good day everyone, it's been a while as I haven't been able to write any posts due to the increased data prices here. Today, I'm am writing about a place that I wish to go. As a pure otaku (anime lover), the place I have been longing to go is none other than Japan. Despite its dense population, Japan is actually small than I would have expected. The most popular place in Japan is Tokyo, the capital of Japan is the main tourists attraction. But for weebs, there is more to Japan than tourism.

After scrolling through maps due to boredom and little did I know that this boredom would change me entirely. I first went through the United States map, using street view, what I saw didn't really surprise me that much so I went on to check other countries. I had just finished watching one of the most popular animes called Naruto, so I decided to check Japan. I went through Tokyo first, I wasn't also surprised that much. I scrolled and scrolled until I got to Kyoto. I didn't believe my eyes, it was unreal. Wooden houses, lanterns, shrines, great scenery and much more. I didn't believe it at first, something like this couldn't possibly exists, I told myself. But after a while, my doubts turned into dreams.

After realizing that there was more to Japan than Tokyo, I checked other places like Osaka, karuizawa and shirakawa. After seeing how this cities were, I furthered my investigation and watched different genres of anime, from slice of life, to romance, I learned about their festivals and culture. Before I knew it, I got hooked, after watching so many animes, I began wishing to visit the root of it. I would watch anime and start fantasizing how it would have been if I was also a resident of Japan and a student in one of their schools. Sometimes, I would just open Google maps and visit one of this cities, I'll put it in street view and pretend like I'm actually there.

I already realized that most of these dreams like becoming a student in of the school are impossible as I have grown past high school already, but living in places like karuizawa and Osaka, going to festivals, visiting shrines and doing much more are still part of the dreams I can fulfill. I mean, Tokyo is a great city, but personally speaking, it might not be as great to me as Kyoto or Osaka.
Dreaming for something is not the way to achieve it, which is why I have stopped dreaming for dreams that I wish to make a reality.
