What’s happened to me lately.

I came back to Japan on June 1st.
I was glad to meet my parents, siblings and close friends again.
However, my feelings about returning to Japan were not as strong as I expected.

Since I came back, many positive and negative things have happened.
Surprisingly, I have remained calm throughout.
I think I became more patient during my time studying abroad. 

I simply respond to what happens to me and easily let go of things I cannot control. 
In other words, I’m not interested in things that cannot be changed.

Almost a month has passed since I returned to Japan.
I felt the need to quickly find a job and continue studying English diligently. 
I often worry about my life. I think anxiety or something similar pushes me to always feel like I must do something. 
Maybe it’s part of my personality. Sometimes I get so exhausted that I need to take control and manage myself.

My experience in Cebu was an essential part of my life. 
For instance, buying things and communicating with people from other nationalities was more challenging compared to my hometown. 
Everything felt like an adventure, and I really enjoyed that lifestyle. 
That’s why I occasionally find life in Japan a bit boring. It's too convenient for me.

However, I also realize that Japan has many unique good points. Safety and cleanliness are the best aspects.
It's a common opinion, but I’m proud of these features of Japan.

Additionally, I have come to realize that knowledge and strength never betray me. Haha.
This isn't meant negatively, just as a fact. 
I was quite a realist when I was younger, but recent events have made me stronger.
I definitely remember who cared about me and who didn’t. I want to spend my time with those who cared about me.
Everything becomes clear when the situation is bad.

I’m starting fresh in a new location and challenging myself with new goals. Just going with the flow, everything will be okay.
I will focus on what’s in front of me and care deeply for my precious people. I’m so excited about what the future holds for me.
