Reset

Sometimes you just need to hit “reset.” The past few days I’ve been sick so I decided to sleep today away and start over. It reminded me of this moment when Sara was living out her fantasy—playing DDR in a real Japanese arcade. Getting this photo required a reset.

It was a lifelong dream of her’s to visit Japan so I was caught off-guard as she experienced culture shock upon arrival. The whole first day went wrong at every turn and the language barrier proved to be bigger than first thought. Eventually I caught on to the frustrations and we took “shelter” in a Burger King, a safe American-friendly establishment which would be familiar and comforting. She ordered a plain burger, we took our food upstairs, and when she opened the wrapper it was a tear-inducing situation. Two buns, no patty. Just bread. Capitulation and nonstop laughter was all we could come up with, there was nothing else to do but call it a night and start over the next day with fresh expectations. Game over.
