I'm standing at the subway station, thinking how I got here.
Most literal way would be: I flew over to Korea, stayed at my aunt's place, and now I'm at the subway trying to go somewhere else.
But for some reason, it doesn't feel that simple.
From one point of view, I'm simply trying to get lost from my aunt's house because it's too boring. All I do is sit down in the living room and watch Korean television all day long. This isn't the reason why I came to Korea in the first place; I must get out of the house and find something interesting to do.
On the other hand, I don't know why I'm standing here. Sure I used subway system many times before, but I don't know where to go from here. Do I go to OGN/MBC to watch Proleague, make my way to GOM for GSL, or just simply travel to City Hall and enjoy the views?
And then suddenly, I start looking back.
Thinking back on Starcraft, damn, it has a long history. Starting from official Blizzard tournaments to Korean SPL/MSL/OSL, it's been nearly 13 years. And yet, people still play it, watch it, and live it. We've just witnessed Flash take another MSL title, while Fantasy took his first OSL title in the last Starleague.
Outside of Korea, SCBW has been dead for a while: We've had small tournaments held by users and small organizations, until Teamliquid decided to step in. TSL was a great success, TSL2 was even bigger. However, with SC2, it seemed like foreign BW tournaments were over, until ISL stepped in. Sure, there were A/B rank iCCup tournaments and iCCupCL, but those were never sponsored/casted properly. But soon enough, ISL ended.
I'm still standing at the subway station, thinking what has happened in the foreign scene, thinking how it has evolved, and thinking where I should go from here.
The train is arriving at the station, but I don't know its destination. However, I feel that this train will bring entertainment, happiness, and joy if I board it. Without hesitation, I board the train.
I still do not know the destination of the train, but I have a hunch.

You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope the train will take you, but you can't be sure...
Dude, I totally get that feeling. I hope you have fun and have a good adventure )

Scan is in front of the computer right now, sleeping. And this is his first lesson in shared dreaming, so there you go. BoOOOM!
To reply to your question: be spontaneous and venture forth.
Pick up a few stranglers on the way. If they ask you where you are going. Tell them you are on a quest searching for enlightenment or in other words the elusive pink bunny.
