A Letter

I got a letter from one of my American friends.
He wrote 5 pages!! I was really happy!! (His handwriting was a little bit hard to read though lol)

He has been at my university since December of last year.
We are good friends. We still keep in touch with each other.

He let me know about how he and some other American friends are doing these days. The letter reminds me of the time we shared in AIU for about one year. In the letter, he said:
"I want to come to Japan...It seems being in Japan for such a long time has put me behind. I would never take it back though,...
So many things have changed, and some times it makes me sad."

I really really can understand his feeling. I felt pain in my heart.
It is the thing that I feel now exactly.

Coz the past things can be our past properly,
Coz our rememberance can be our memory undoubtedly,
Coz we can forget pain we felt before,

We humans can live.


Even if saying "good-bye" was heartbreaking, we would be able to live coz we know we would meet a lot of new people in the future.
Even if I am having a hard time now, I will still be able to live coz I can look forward to happiness in the future.


Im really scared of the changes.
I always feel scared ...

Yet, we cannot stay here forever.
We have to change.
In this three-dimensional world, time goes only one way.
Nobody can take the past back. We all gotta go ahead.

Such a common knowledge, such a thing which everyone knows,,,

My head understands it but my heart cannot accept....
How painful it is, how sad it is, how hard it is...

I really feel that,
I am very happy that I could have such great friends all over the world.
I wanna believe that there is an "everlasting thing" in the world.
This feeling of mine is eternal.

I wanna be with you guys forever.
I wanna be your good friend forever.
Forever...

Thank you for visiting my blog the other day.

I understand that you feel scared about some changes... and want to stick to the past that you spent happily.
It might be different from what you feel about right now...,
but speaking of "change"...after having some struggles and hesitations, I sometimes figured out the meaning of the sayings "Fear is often greater than the danger"/"An attempt is sometimes easier than expected."

I really envy that you have friends all over the world. plus your youthfulness! :)
Your English is very good. I hope you will continue studying English as long as you can. I regretted myself that I had stopped studying English for many years after I graduated from college. I've just started it over again at my own pace.

I think we, Japanese, have the neatest handwriting :)
Thanks for the beautiful piano melody!
I enjoyed it while having coffee.
Take care!

Hi,thank you for your comment on my blog!! Since my friends dont like read English very much, Im very glad that you read my English diary and made some comments for it.

Well,"Fear is often greater than the danger"/"An attempt is sometimes easier than expected."
Your words are really moving for me. These phrases are very profound. Life is almost always very difficult to lead as I expected.

Yea, I have a lot of friends all over the world. Since there are a lot of international students in my university. Do you know "Akita International University"?? It is not such famous yet though...

I wanna keep in touch with them!!!
I hope I would be able to see them someday in the future again!!
I will keep working to improve my English skill. Your English is very good. I cannot find any mistakes. I make a lot of mistakes when I use English so Im jealous!! lol

I hope we can make comments on our blog each other sometimes. Keep'n touch~~:-)

Thank you!
