Because of such feeling, people need to focus on the reasons why they feel. They don't like to keep feeling negative, so they will think. Thinking is the only way for them to feel better. ;( <br /><br />I don't know what I can tell you. I just think you will need to what you think is the best. If you think writing your thoughts is the way, then, you will need to write about your thoughts. If you think something different, then, you will choose "it."<br /><br />I'm so sorry you feel that way. Culture or America or even my home, I do think living in a specific place is very difficult for us. I do think that way. It's difficult, but you needn't give on up America. <br /><br />By the way, I like your saying, "I don't want to be a typical American" because I think "I don't want to be a typical Japanese." And at least, for me, thinking deeply functions as a way to avoid becoming such a Japanese. ... <br /><br />I hope you feel that's Okay again and that my English makes sense. :) <br />NorieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
