Alright, first blog post.

I believe the first order of business is to just come out and be honest about the fact that I am, historically, a terribly inconsistent blogger. Let's try to change that. :-) 

A little about me: I'm in my late 20s, from the U.S. 

Last July, I moved back to the United States after spending four years living and working in Japan (there will be some stories about this later). Needless to say, the past nine months have been a roller coaster of emotions: reverse culture shock, happiness, stress, anger, grief, loneliness, excitement....It's like this ride just doesn't stop; it just goes from one emotion to the next on this endless loop. "I'm so happy to be here!" "I want to go back to Japan!" "Thank God I'm close to my family!" "I miss Japan so much it's hard to breathe!" 

That pretty much sums up my mind right now....as if I weren't crazy enough before the reverse culture shock. 

Anyway, I'm gonna give this blog a try. 

My first entry is fairly personal. It's an open letter to someone I love. Someone I left behind.
