I CALLED IT A DREAM

I am a simple person, 22 years old, I am still a student, I study in Taylor's University since 3 years ago after I came back from Japan. That day, when I was holding my luggage waving my hand to my family at the airport,  that feeling was complicated. I was happy because I am going to have a new life in Japan, in the other way, I was sad because I am leaving my family, my friends and my home. I know that, by the day after, I would be all alone and freedom. I have no idea what will happen next, I was exciting but worried. I still remember when I walking through the arrival hall with few of the students like me, we became friend immediately because we knew that we will take care each other start from that time. The air in the airport was different from Malaysia, I can feel the cold from outside, it was the end of winter, outside was raining told by a teacher who was in charge to lead us to the place we stay. He was friendly and he can speak a little bit of Chinese. Then I had my first ride of subway in Japan. Look through the window, I saw the view of Japan, then I was thinking about my coming life in Japan.
Time flies, I spend a good time in Japan, I already familiar with the complicated subway route map, I moved out from hostel and stay in a small but nice home. I met friends from all over the world and friendly Japanese teachers in my language school, we went to picnic, museum, zoo, stadium and more. I had a boyfriend that time, he was my classmate, we had a good time in Japan.
But things never go smooth every times, that was a long holiday, so I decided to go home to visit my family. I had a good holiday spending with my family, but I didn't know that was the end of my Japan life. That day, my mum tried to persuade me to give up Japan and stay in Malaysia. She was persistent, same as my dad. I had no choice, I knew that they give me everything as they can take away everything from me. I was mad at them that time, but still they are my parents. I shouldn't obey them. My dad offered me to study at Taylor's University and I accepted because somebody told me that I should appreciated the things that I have which other people might don't have.
I told myself, my parents might be wrong sometimes but still I am already blessed a lot, I shouldn't not force my parents to give me what I want, I should appreciated what I already have. If going back to Japan is what I want, then I should do it by myself, and this is where my motivation come from. Still, I miss there sometimes, I miss my friends and my home there, it doesn't mean that the staying there is happier than here or easier but just because the relationship, the people, things and places, everything that's emotional inside. I will go back one day in the future, I am not sure it is when, but I am excited.
