Dear Ikko, Day 22
It's only day 22 and it seems like I've been traveling forever. I know I still I have a long ways to go, but while I was walking today, I began to doubt if I was going to make it. Then I figured out what was keeping me going—the memory of someone I truly loved. I don't know who it is, but…deep inside me…I know there was someone. As I travel, I try to put more and more pieces of them together—memories, images, personality. I know this person was close to me. At the moment, I have a subtle idea of who it is, but I think it's too soon to be admitting that quite yet.
