After 10 years I am finally here!
Do observe that there is an emotional rant ahead~
I so happy that I have tears in my eyes. My family worked so hard for me. They have done so much for me, I will never be able to pay them back for their love and kindness. As I was leaving home, I didn't think I'd cry but there I was, hugging my aunts and crying like a child because I know I wouldn't be on the other side of the planet without them. I love them so much.
And then, we have my mother, my life. She's my best friend, my everything. She's the reason I'm alive (yes, I am talking about stuff other than the fact that I came from her inside) and the amount of love that I hold for her cannot be measured. It's very cheezy but screw you , I'm lactose intolerant.
Is it weird to be homesick the first day you're gone?
Next post will be less emo, s2g

I CANT BELIEVE IM MOVING TO JAPAN TOMORROW LIKE HOLY SHIT THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IM REALLY NERVOUS HELP
Yesterday night and today was the weirdest goddamn day. Last night I suddenly got really sick. I mean really really sick. I got a fever, sneezed at everything, covered the house in snot and couldn't read my own name. And today I was so sick my mother was like 'how u gon go if u sick foo' (may or may not be paraphrased). She gave me a pakistani home remedy and i fell asleep on the kitchen sofa (yes we have a sofa in the kitchen, u wanna fight). When I woke up i was really refreshed~ thank you mother dearest
My girlfriend came to say goodbye, I was really sad. I almost cried but I didn't because you know in manly like that.
Still haven't completed my packing...
Nostalgic feeling as I was passing the bridge.
Got my visa yesterday too. Now all that is left is to go~
I think it's underestimated how it feels to leave your best friend for a year. How it feels to leave your (very awesome) girlfriend. How it feels to leave people who are essential to the life you're living.
I'm a very clingy person, and I always try my best to cherish my friends to my greatest ability. But when I have to leave people who are kinda like a steady rock for me to lean on, it becomes hard. But it's just a year. That's my mantra. It's just a year.
So Friday was when I had my goodbye party. It was awesome. Some people couldn't come but you can't have everything.
Everyone was really excited for me which made me feel really loved. We laughed, danced, sang along (horribly so) to songs, binged on chips and just had a good time.
I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you guys for making my last weekend fucking awesome!

Got my Yakkan Shoumei today!
I was really nervous since I need such a big amount of medication. I was like 'omg what if they think I'm a smuggler". But they got my doctors notes and receipts and they approved it!
For those blissfully unaware, the Yakkan Shoumei is a form you have to fill in in order to bring medication into Japan. And by medicine I mean prescribed medication that is more than a months quantity.
If you're lucky, you won't need it at all. However if you have a multitude of illnesses like yours truly, you'll need a ton of pills and sachet bags and shit. So here I am like 'hi I need enough pills to give to a small nation'.
The Yakkan Shoumei is hell to fill out. You have to have doctors notes, have to know the active chemical ingredient in your meds, need to know the name and origin of the company making it and other stuff that gives me a headache and a weird craving for coffee. Here's the thing tho, the pharmaceutical services in Japan are really quick with answering emails. Faster than any government authority in Sweden. And for that they have my eternal gratitude because I am very forgetful after 4 hours of filling in papers and 5 coffees. I had forgotten to send in my flight tickets. So i emailed them with the tickets and a couple of apologies. They answered a day later and said it was okay.
So I'm kinda in love with the Japanese ministry of health, labour and welfare.
They are super helpful, bless their government hearts.
