We went on holiday to Morocco in April. That turned out to be right before the final hand in, which I now think was quite suicidal, but it did certainly provided me to finally reflect upon myself. We were riding long hours in taxis (yes we took taxis to go to Sahara desert), and probably for the first time I thought through about school, leaving London, and my new life in Japan.
I don't know if it was the long car ride or the beautiful nature of Morocco, but others who were traveling with me were thinking about deep stuff like "meaning of life" and "how small we are". Quite sadly, my thoughts revolved around practical matters and plan of actions rather than philosophical things that others were getting into. That made me feel how shallow I am, but I won't lie.
During those hours of car rides in Morocco, this song Exodus 04 by Utada was playing repeatedly in my head.
The lyrics goes like this:
Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert, snow
We'll say goodbye to the friends we know
This is our exodus '04
