またね

On friday March 8, I had my last day at Genki Jacs followed by the end of my quite long first solo adventure in Japan.

The uncertainties were a lot of first, would I be able to fit there? Will I be able to make friends? What if it ends up being completely different from what I expected and hate it?
Still, it didn't matter, I would have done it anyways and challenge myself.
The result was way better than what I could even wish for.

I learned about others, by observing them, listen to them, and it feels like that enriched me in a way that never could have happened if I had kept sticking to my habits and not risk it.
I've learned about myself, about how much of an individual I am and how my presence was slowly changing the people around me. ...though, is it actually a good thing or a bad thing? That... Oh well I'll leave it up to you to decide!

It's been just a day since I've left, and it already feels nostalgic and lonely, almost as if it was a dream...
Then again, talking with the very friends I was afraid not being able to find and seeing these pictures, reminds me that everything is still there, and it will be alright.

So thank you all for participating and being part of this, because it wouldn't have been the same, if you weren't there.
We will definitely meet again, no matter what or when, but until then,

またね。
