Now that I graduated, my next step in life is creeping up on me. For those who don't know, I'm going to Okayama, Japan to start a job as an English teacher at a middle school. I'll be there (I'm planning on...) for 3 years.

I'll visit the states with limits because of how expensive it is to fly back.

To make that decision though to go to Japan was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life. Between hurting myself and above all, other people around me, I had too much on my mind for weeks on end and stress levels I never experienced before. I broke down or cried almost every night, my appetite fell, I started to snap at people without reason, and everything that happened seemed to make my mood collapse.

I do need to apologize to a certain someone (you know who you are) because I put him through a lot in these last few months. He was always there to support me, hold me, comfort me, and make me keep my head up and focused. Every time I seemed to loose hope or start beating myself up over something, he did anything he could to ensure I was fine and that I wouldn't let something so menial destroy the rest of my senior year at college or my sanity.

To that person, if I have hurt you in any way, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you worry, I'm sorry for putting you through any pain... You've helped me in more ways than anyone.

Thank you.

And now to the future. No one knows what lies there, no one knows what will happen. I will try my hardest to go without regrets and do what I can to ensure happiness, not only for myself but to those I love as well.

今日いい事があるそうだ！　
将来に行こう！
