Wow, I feel so unupdated one your life after reading this. So, what did your boyfriend do? Cheat on you? How long are you in Japan for? I hope things get better for you there.
I actually wish that it was just that he cheated on me-- but I still feel too uncomfortable to say it aloud. (I'm pretending like it doesn't exist by not saying it and I know it's immature but... I guess that's what I am -_-;;) I'm here for a year, but my contracting organization is trying really hard to pressure/"not" pressure me into staying for at least two years. And I have to constantly weigh pros and cons of staying leaving, relationships, resume stuff.. etc. i'm so bad at decisions so it's perma-stress! And thank you! <3 I hope things are going well for you too!
Okay. I put in a piece of pizza to heat in the oven. Then I decided to read this. And now I am responding to this while eating my pizza.
Reading this, I realized that:
1. You are a trooper. 2. You are a brave soul. 3. I owe you two years worth of hugs. Like, a lot of hugs. And we'll do just that when we see each other.
I know the entire length of your stay in Japan was a long one. I also know, since I'm typing this from the 'future,' that it got easier for you as time went on. But you still had to deal with this crap first.
Even though you experienced a shitstorm, it's good to see you were still mentioning the little glimmers of kindness. There were some great people you met, even if the majority of your time was spent clashing with the culture.
I am very happy that you are home. I am sad that you needed to go through the past two years primarily alone. You did it, though. And I am so proud of you.
