Well it's actually taken me a few days to write this one because I wasn't really in the mood. I moved out of my campsite by the river into Matsuyama, quite a large city. I knew I wanted to chill, so I just kind of got food and lazed around. I was waiting around for the night rates at Banbees to hit, where I planned on spending the night (it's an internet cafe).
At around 3 I stopped for a coffee, which was very good. They were playing Bon Iver over the speakers so I kind of just sat and listened. After my coffee I put "For Emma, Forever Ago" in my earphones to keep the Bon Iver train going. I made my way to the nearest park to just sit down. Right before I got there I almost crashed into some high school girls (it was probably not my fault though).
At the park I just broke down into tears. It was mainly feeling homesick, lost, and very, very lonely. I cried for a good 20 minutes, sitting under a tree leaning onto my bike. After that I called my Mum and Dad and we had a very nice chat which made me feel a lot better. Even days on now I am still processing these emotions, as I probably had been for weeks now working up to this point. I didn't think I would break this quickly, but here we are.
Anyway, I'll see this day as a big moment in my trip. After my cry I made my way to Banbees, where I set up with some sushi and snacks and watched the first day of RLCS Paris Major.
