I just finished spending 6 months of my life on a working holiday in Japan. They were the most influential and meaningful months that I’ve experienced so far. During this time, I tried to teach myself how to look at the world differently. We all take notice of others as we go about our lives, but typically you only notice something physical. Their hair, their clothes. We tend to focus more on the person simply being there than what they’re actually doing. So I started exploring Tokyo and beyond in search of people doing ordinary things in extraordinary light. Now that I’m back in Canada, I can apply those lessons here. Whenever I’m out in the world, I take notice and smile at the couple snuggling on the bench, the children riding on their parents shoulders, and all the other little moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
