#studying abroad
My quarantine is over tomorrow!! I was a bit sad (a lot of anxiety) during these two weeks I wasn’t even in the mood to watch anime. But now I’m feeling better, hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up and do reviews and a proper year-end post with this year tops ^^
Day 1 in Japan! Currently 5:13 am and I’m on my quarantine facility. Tbh the jetlag is horrible but at least I can speak with my fam while they are awake. It’s only been one day but I’m already crying and missing them. The trip was so long and uncomfortable it made me homesick immediately. The two upcoming weeks will be hard af but I hope once I’m out I can be more happy and enjoy this beautiful country.
Why does no one ever comment on the inherent sadness that is present whenever one packs one’s luggage - whether to move house, fly abroad, or even just on one’s way to a leisure trip? There is a sense of sentimentality in saying farewell to a place that had been your home, whether for weeks, months, even years - by packing up belongings, one tries to salvage as many pieces as one could, to retain a sense of home. Yet one could never really replace home, for home is not objects, nor is it really a location, an apartment, a house. It is a feeling - an attachment to old things, new things, borrowed things. And packing one’s luggage is the final act of acknowledging one’s departure.
