feelings and emotion

2023 is such a rollercoaster ride, while it was mostly screaming fun, I still had a few low moments. Especially now that I am not in Japan anymore. I tried to rationalize what I have been feeling by skimming through journal about re-entry/reverse culture shock.

Quoting from Marquette University, re-entry is a common reaction to returning home from studying abroad. I felt sad, melancholic, and frustrated by how I should behave with my coworkers; wondering why I have been feeling down a lot for the past three months. Usually, I would just record video journal as a replacement for this blog/writing, however since it's already late at night and I need to get this out immediately without my sister listening what I am experiencing right now, I thought, "why not going back to my usual blog so I can process what to do or how to behave?" So here I am.

After my birthday, which was a couple of days ago, I felt this sudden change of mood. I no longer desire to go on a hiking trip with my friend, I didn't continue on my presentation proposal for my work (technically I'm on leave, so), I even shut myself off from my coworkers, I just have zero energy to reply those messages on the group chat.

PMS? Probably.
It's coming soon.

Lack of outdoor activities? Exercises?
Yes, obviously ever since I came back my steps count fall significantly from 10,000 steps to barely make it to 1,000 a day.

What I did not realize, even though I prepare and anticipate it myself way before coming back, is that I cannot control how I feel. And the slump is indescribable. It wasn't bad like prior my studying abroad, but it is a whole new sadness and numbness of my daily life. Not to mention that I came back to punching my legs or my head every time I felt slight inconvenient of my own behavior - like punishing myself for feeling like this. No need to go down that hole of me imagining the worst thing to myself. I am not sure if it is severe, so much so I need to seek medical/psychology attention.

At least for now, by letting go of this rage this way, I felt less tense and I can regulate my feelings better, so that I don't have to vent my anger towards someone. Although sometimes I can't help it, I just feel this rage I kept feeling offended all the time. Dang it I have to do something about this.

Anyway, this is probably a reason why I am not with anyone ever - even though at the same time I see worse people still date/marry.

A Story of Unsuccessful Romance: Chapter 1

 I Saw You Across The Classroom I would've never thought that the moment I saw him for the first time across our classroom was the moment that I would remember for the longest time. I was just a 14 year old kid who like pretty people with pretty eyes. Little did I know I would think over him over the years.. I got accepted to one of reputable public high school in my city, barely. My name was at the bottom of selection results, like, the last 5 people who got in to this school. Nevertheless, I was excited, of course. It was my dream to be a student here since it would help me path my way to go to reputable universities in the future. Back then, this school had two special programs, the acceleration program where you could study in high school for two years, and the international program- where you (were supposed to) learn all the subjects in English. I just finished my orientation and I was initially studying at grade X(ten) - 3. My mom, who is a high school teacher herself in anot

Senior Thesis Story - The Never Ending Regrets

This story was originally posted on my Tumblr. Had to set it to private because of, reasons. This, is a story of How I Die…. No, no. It’s actually one of the sad story of a senior student. How she became so careless about her university’s life. It all began when a young maiden called Nedayah decided to click a subject oh her academic report. The Senior Thesis. A six credit subject that leads most of seniors to success, or never ending failures. There are many tears and blood and sad and painful stories behind this. No matter what, when you decided to graduate university or college from this path, you have to go forward. You have got to decide what kind of problem you want to take for research, what kind of methods you want to use, and what are the reasons why you choose this problem. So one day, Nedayah had an idea. That she will take a research about: the formulation of a local regulation about buildings. Her minds wandered for so long, thinking about what city she would choose.
