I just spent 2 weeks in Mexico City, first time in 4 years thanks to covid (I live in Japan).
My parents are so loving and caring, it hurts me that I won’t hug them until next year. My brother started a new job and is doing great, I’m so proud of him. My friends, it’s like time stopped (I’ve been 8 years in Japan) and we still have a blast just hanging around. I was in tears playing Drawful 2 with some of them earlier today. Mexico City is beautiful and crazy and I love it so much, I’m jealous of my friends living here. Food in Mexico is so good I’ll have to go on a diet once I’m back in Tokyo. My dog loves me and won’t stop begging me to pick her up.
I love Japan, my life in Tokyo, and my friends there too. I know I’ll feel better soon enough, but I had never felt this sad about leaving Mexico before.
I really don’t want to go back now :(
The older I get the harder it is to go back. I think part of it is seeing everyone else age a little bit more, too.
