Time is ticking away, and our departure for the States is slowly coming closer…
Honestly, I cannot believe that I’m heading back to the States. I know that I have been waiting for this moment for such a long time, but when it actually happens, I don’t feel right. I’m nervous, happy, overly excited (due to sleepless packing), and worried all at the same time. It’s strange how you feel awkward when you kind of go back time, like trying to fit your current self to the past. Obviously it’s not natural and you know for sure that it’s not the right thing. But you get that sudden rush of needing to do that. I’m kind of in that situation.
I’m positively sure that I’ll have a blast and enjoy the moment with Hannah, but to be honest, I’m scared of facing reality of my motherland; how it changed. When I said before that I wanted to know, I didn’t lie. I guess I’m acting like a little kid whining because I can’t go to preschool anymore and I don’t want to become an elementary school student.
Is it time for me to grow up?
Look at the clock. I guess it is.

Hannah posted on tumblr for the first time yesterday and now I am posting something. By the way there’s nothing new to talk about. No progress. I can’t wait until we leave for the States. My mind is filled with fun things. I have no life. I know, shut up.
Just imagining how things will be in the States— things that changed, and things that will always stay the same— I cannot help myself but be excited. Living in Japan for nearly five years, I feel kind of lost. Not completely, but pretty much in a weird position. I can feel parts of me that are shaky, unstable. Maybe I want to let myself check and be sure that I am who I am. This sounds cheesy (wow did I just use that word?) but I want to go back where I used to be and be happy about it. I never got to appreciate the environment I was in until I left, so I think of this trip as a time to reflect on all the years I was there. Fill in the space of the five years I wasn’t there. Thank it. Enjoy it.
 
And because I have no life, I must renew it :)

OMG! You are so sweet, May! :) I’m not good at writing something in English like May, but I’m trying to write in English what I’m thinking. I’ve never been to New York but I really want to go like crazy! I saw the picture of New York City, maybe Times Square when I was a junior high student. And I thought, “I have to visit there! Definitely!”, I don’t know why I thought so, but, anyways, I felt so. lol And also, I think bright cities like New York make me feel I’m alive in THIS WORLD. It sounds kind of funny, but I still believe it… seriously. So I’m excited for this trip to New York City. I just want to be in the heart of Times Square and I want to see the world from there. That’s one of my dreams. Thank you for coming with me, May! :D この場を借りて感謝します＾＾

Yay for our trip! :D
