Option to Throw Everything and Return to Japan

I think it’s important to always have the option of “throwing everything away and returning to Japan” for when times are mentally tough. (like having enough money for a plane ticket)

• This is written with the assumption of being in a mentally difficult state.

  • It’s challenging to think about various things when you don’t even have the willpower to get through the day, so it’s better to think about it now.

• What would it take to always have that option?

  • Airfare
    • Even in the worst case scenario, if you have around $1500 left, you should be able to buy a flight from NYC to Tokyo the next day.
  • The ability to make that decision
    • It’s about whether you, when pushed into a corner, can choose the option of “throwing everything away and returning to Japan.”
    • Even if you throw away everything you should do, you won’t necessarily die.

• It’s similar to writing a resignation letter and putting it in an envelope for mental stability.
