Long time no post
I don't know why it's taken me so long to post. So much has happened and I'm not really sure where to begin. First off, I am so happy Obama has won. It feels good. It feels right. I feel relieved.
I love Japan but it looks like I'll be leaving this year. I'm off to pursue a masters in Special Education. Who knows? I'm thinking of even pursuing my doctorate and teaching at a university.
I've really grown up a lot here. Although I need sleep I was so cranky this past weekend and poor Kari-chan got the brunt of it. It's weird, having Kari here my past and my past self seem to be brought out more. I don't want to remember or be who I was. I like who I am now. I feel good and confident and I like myself. I don't like feeling angry and self-loathing and bitter. I don't want to ever be like that ever again.
I look forward to the future and what it holds for me and the people I love. I look forward to the next four years with President Obama and I hope that we can begin to put ourselves back together. I am sick of war, I'm sick of hate, and I'm proud that both of my parents are amazing and believe in a better world like I do. We all cast our ballots for Obama and we hold our heads up high.
As Sam Cooke once sang, " A change gonna come... oh yes it will."
