It's been a little over a month since I last posted.....
I wish I had a more exciting life so I had more things to talk about lol. Otherwise, I don't post. I'm not a blogging person in general, but I really should make an effort to post something.
You know, I had a conversation with a friend who's currently teaching in Korea about our dreams and what we want to do in life. She admitted that she didn't want to stay in Korea, despite how much she loves all things Korean. She wanted to travel all over the world and still have the chance to see her friends and family here. And it got me to thinking about what I want to do. I applied to JET this past week and it made me think, do I really want to stay in Japan the rest of my life? Honestly, I can't answer that. I know that I'm in love with Japan to death and want to know about everything that's Japanese. But am I willing to risk leaving behind everything I know and love to pursue this? Well, with JET and other teach abroad programs, I will have a chance to find out. Even if I realize it's not the place for me, at least I would have found out instead of never knowing. If I do get the opportunity to teach in Japan, I need to try my hardest to make the best of it, even though I will be alone. My friend doesn't have anyone in Korea except for one person, and that makes me think about what I'm going to do without anyone. It's going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I need to and want to try my hardest to make it the best experience of my life. And one day, I will know the answer to my question.
