Hello! Are you doing well? Are you happy?
By the time you receive this letter in April 2025, the cherry blossoms should be blooming. You might be going to see them. I couldn’t come to Japan until April this year because my COE application was rejected. I broke my promise to see the cherry blossoms. It was disappointing.
Do you know why I am writing to you, 5 and a half years later? I came to Japan as a caregiving student and have to study and work here for six years. Now, it’s almost 5 months since I’ve been in Japan. You, 5 and a half years later, must have finished the scholarship course. That’s why I’m sending you this letter.
I bet you have become more beautiful and wealthy in 5 and a half years. I hope you’re doing things that I couldn’t do.
Currently, I’m interested in dancing, but I’ve been too busy to start. Try it out before you get any older.
Right now, I’m stressed. My hobbies are gradually disappearing, and I feel pressured to pass the JLPT in December. I’m also struggling at work because I’m still not good at communication. But I am working hard for your future, so make sure you live a good life for me.
I think you are still working in Japan. However, you might be wondering whether to continue in caregiving or change jobs. I like caregiving, but I also want to experience new things.
Currently, I can do nothing but study and work. I don’t lack the desire to play, but I don’t have the time. If you get a chance, try climbing Mount Fuji.
How is your family? I hope they stay healthy forever. I love my family.
Oh, by the way, do you have a partner? I don’t understand why I’ve never had one. My friends say I’m quiet. I’m not good at interacting with others. How is your personality? I hope it’s not like mine. Always smile and be confident wherever you are.
Do you have any foreign friends now? I had the chance to make foreign friends, but I gradually lost touch with them because I didn’t have time. My classmate sitting next to me is Indonesian. Because I’m not good at conversation, it’s hard for us to talk. Even when he talks to me, I can’t respond right away, so we don’t talk much. It’s troubling. I feel lonely. Make sure to participate in many activities and make lots of foreign friends.
I wonder if you are fat or thin, have dark or fair skin, and what you wear. Take good care of yourself. Don’t stay up late. Eat a balanced diet. Go to the gym if you have time.
I’d love to talk more with you, but I can’t spend all my time thinking about you. I am currently very busy with my studies. Please forgive me if I do something wrong in the future that troubles you.
Take care of yourself.
From myself 5 and a half years ago
