Stop Doing That
Stop trying to deter me from living in Tokyo with every word that comes out of your mouth, Mom! It's really pissing me off. It's to the point where even if I hate it when I get there, I'll stay just to spite you. >_< So infuriating. And I know I won't hate it there. I may not love it, but I know I won't hate it. I love it too much already to ever hate it. I love it all, the good and the bad, and I'm ready to accept both when I move there. So drop it. Leave it be.
If I get one more e-mail about a tsunami or an earthquake I'm going to run through the house screaming and pulling my hair out. You act like I don't know about those things. I'm not stupid. There's no way I could be as obsessed with Japan as I am and not know about the earthquakes. It dumbfounds me that at the bottom of each of those e-mails you write, "Are you sure you want to live there?" YES! YES! YES! YES! I'm SURE! Stop freaking pestering me about it! GAH! I know I'm your oldest child and your only daughter and that you're having trouble with the thought of letting me go, especially halfway around the world. But it's what I want. And it's not like you'll never see me again. So please, please, please stop with all this stuff that is 'bad' or 'wrong with' Tokyo. It won't stop me from going. YOU can't stop me from going. So just give it up now.
