Moving abroad to Japan is for me something that brings me absolutely happiness. I feel at ease and see a bright future ahead of me in Japan! But, there is always a negative side to the positive and for me one of the biggest hurdles of moving to Japan is all the goodbyes that comes with.
I'm not moving from Sweden because I don't like it here, I love Sweden and my life here as well, but Japan just feels more right at the moment. Japan is the place I have to be in. So consequently that means "ending" a lot of things here in Sweden. I only have 10 days left in Sweden now and the other day I had my last day at work at Volvo! I felt so nice being done but at the same time I felt sad. It felt weird leaving the place I have been working at since I was in senior year of high school... I also had a lot of wonderful coworkers to say goodbye to. I did it with a smile but inside it felt... Sad. Yeah, just sad. It's weird that I was happy and sad at the same time.. Makes one confused for sure! I also know this is just the start of how the following 2 weeks will be like. My coworkers were the "easiest" step, then there is friends, best friends and family left.. Makes my heart hurt a little just thinking about it. BUT at the same time, I'm definitely not going to focus on the goodbyes. The last days here I will do my best to make as many amazing memories as possible with everyone I love! Because yeah, it is goodbye and I will not be able to see them in person so often, BUT they will just be a skype call away and I believe that real relationships don't break or change because of physical distance. It's the feelings that is important to cherish and that you can do despite being far away! I will also come visit Sweden of course and I'm sure some of my friends will visit me in Tokyo as well!
So, conclusion. It's a hard thing, saying goodbye. It will be sad and hard sometimes. But it's not the same as an end of friendship or relationship. As long as the feelings are intact it will all turn out great in the end. There can be no beging without and ending so to speak!
This has been on my mind the last couple of day but feels good to have shared it now.
This will end the thoughts of today!
Hugs!
