Jul. 24th, 2012 11:55 pmI'm having trouble sleeping, so I'm going to update. Stupid jet lag.
I arrived in America on Saturday. The flight was fine even though it was really long. It was good to see my family again, but I really didn't do much because I was too tired. On Sunday and Monday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stellawind came to visit! We went out to eat and did a little bit of shopping. We also finally watched Bunraku and agreed that Gackt was the only thing that made watching that movie worthwhile. Today, I went downtown and had lunch with immelmanturn! It was so great to hang out with friends that I haven't seen in over a year. Tomorrow, I get to see my favorite cousin, melody1228! I'm pretty excited about it.
It's kind of nice to be temporarily back in America, but at the same time it feels a bit weird. It's a bit like going back to my old life and realizing that I don't quite fit in here anymore. I feel extra aware of all the differences between Japan and America (which isn't to say that they have no similarities, the differences are just what I tend to notice right now). I also notice all the changes that have happened to my life back in America, like friends who've moved away. It makes me realize that anytime I come back to the U.S., things will never be the same as they used to be, they'll never click back into my old life. It's a pretty sad feeling. It just makes me realize how completely not ready I am to return to the U.S. on a permanent basis.
It's funny that I'm writing this entry here in America because as of today, it's been exactly a year since I moved to Japan. It's a bit hard to believe that the time has passed this fast. This past year has been amazing and I can only hope that my luck continues into the next year of my life in Japan.
