I know how you feel about the internal battle. My mum is Australian and my dad was Chinese but passed when I was 6 months. Visiting that side of my family makes me incredibly sad because I want to be exposed to that culture, and it’s hard to explain
i'm so sorry to hear that 🥺 it can feel really painful when the culture you want to be apart of is not accessible/brings up hard emotions. i think that's why it's difficult for me to be in japan for a long period of time too, i kind of grieve the person i never ended up becoming. thank you for sharing love ❤
i just moved to a new city for my degree, and i totally understand the loneliness! i wish i was more confident in going out to do things on my own, but the traffic here scares me😂also, i love chole gong! my favorite book is Foul Lady Fortune!!
that sounds so amazing!! and such a big change!! i think it takes some time to adjust to a new environment but that’s such a big deal you should be so proud of yourself 🥰 and thank you for sharing bby, i appreciate you!! and oooo, adding to my list!
feel free to ignore my comment since it’s not my business but wouldnt it be possible for you to move to where your mom lives at least for a while? I moved to a different country for a few years and it broke my heart and soul since I am super close to my mom and brother. Last year I moved back with them and I realized I need to live close to them. I’m not saying you should live there permanently but maybe moving there for a while would help your inner child heal a bit? love, maría 💗
thank you for sharing! as much as i love my mama i’m not interested in moving back to japan (as of now), i really want to finish my degree and i’m also happy here too (obviously that’s not to say there aren’t ups & down.) i personally have a hard time when i’m in japan for too long, because i start to miss my life in the States and both countries have their pros and cons. i think i’m also so westernized now, i struggle living in Japan but i live in a small town too. thank you for asking so kindly and sharing your experience. i appreciate you very much 🥺
