Well...I feel like shit.

I just went to talk to my professor today, to let him know I won't be going to America after all. He was pretty upset. He says I'm squandering my talents, and that I might as well drop the program if I'm wasting his time. Luckily, there are plenty of professors willing to take me in, I still feel like I'm letting a lot of people down. I just...I

I'm sorry you couldn't go, but I already told you, it's your decision. Whatever you choose, you've got our support. And it's actually very strong and very brave to admit that you can't do something. I'm very proud of you for that. It's a pity you miss the opprtunity, yes, but I'm sure that plenty more are to come and you'll take them upon when you are ready. And to be a selfish ass, this means we'll get more of you! It's America that misses out, not you or us. ^^

As for your proffessor, show him to me and I'll kick him. He knows a flying fuck, he has no right to judge your decisions! You should take up the others on their offers. Whatever happes, we'll stand by you, I promise.

I love you.

Come and get a hug~ You deserve one!

I love you, too. I know this won't be the only opportunity...and I won't regret this decision. I'm coming for that hug.

Hikaru...

So maybe this is a missed opportunity, but that doesn't mean for a second that it's the only one you'll ever get. You're young, you're talented, and when you're better prepared there's a whole world waiting for you out there. And it's a world you'll take by storm. Just you wait and see.

Thank you, Senri. I love you so much.

[wingofkyushu]

I love you too!

And if it helps any... I'm glad you're sticking around. As much of a good idea I thought it was, I would have missed you too much if you'd gone.

[zenzaip]

I would have missed you, too...

The important people have beat me to it. But let me reiterate. You are not a failure. You have never been a failure. Success is measured in many many ways. You are a success.

[zenzaip]

Thanks, Osamu-chan.

[o_samu_chan]

Any time, Hikaru.

You are certainly not a failure. Your professor has failed you, however, in not giving you the support and encouragement that you require. Perhaps it is time to look for someone who will cultivate your talents and who will also put your needs before ambition.

The decision was yours to make. I am sure you have done the right thing.

[zenzaip]

Yeah, I'm changing professors. The new one seems nice.

Thanks, Gin-san. I know I made the right choice.

[master_of_zen]

I am happy that you have found a nicer professor.

You did. I firmly believe that.
