Ok, so here I go
10 things I wish I could say to people:
1. To ill mannered tourists : Please stop making us look like rude, disgusting people. It bothers me when people leave their manners at customs and next thing they are prancing down the street, beer in hand and pretty much yelling how they could get so much *** here if they wanted.
2. I love my job, I do my best, the economy isn't our fault. What you are planning to do will only hurt the company. Not just the company, what you are planning will hurt the students, schools, staff too. Pride can be a terribly dangerous thing.
3. To the old lady who runs the cafe on the corner: I understand everything you say. When you told your little yippy dog it was smart because it barked at me, you really showed how little you know or care to know about the world.
4. Some of you need to go to the dentist, you have a lot of plaque on your teeth and your breath smells like something rotten. If I can smell your breath from 5-8 feet away there is a problem.
5. To Sさん: You shouldn't drink, when you drink you say very bad things and then you forget them. You may not remember what you said at the enkai we had in December, but I doubt I will forget it.
6. I don't know when I am going back to America. I am happy and not homesick. I feel there is something I need to do here and I will stay until that is done or until that feeling changes.
7. At a certain point in life we all must take responsibility and become adults. That doesn't mean we have to give up on our dreams, but it means we need to be able stop living in the past, accept that things aren't always as we planned, stop placing blame and move on.
8. I don't know what happened in the past 2 years, we slowly talked less and less. You are my friend and always will be, I hope you are happy and well and if you never tell me how all that mess happened it is OK, you have been through a lot. I hope it all works out this time around.
9. Don't treat me like I am stupid when I say I believe in God. It isn't "religion" it is belief. I don't need big fancy buildings, special words, or all those things that make some people loathe religion. I don't judge you, why would you ever judge me? I am genuinely happy, I don't want to be negative, I don't want to hold grudges or to hate. I just want to love. Why does it make some people happy to try to destroy these things? And anyway, you can't destroy them.
10. I love you and I mean it.
