okay so i just had the most devastating realization — i've been in japan for like two weeks and i've still got a whole month left but i'm already dreading the day i have to leave. the ramen here ruined me for life, the anime merch stores make me broke and happy, and there's this little old lady at the konbini who waves at me every morning and i think she might be my grandma now. how do people just... live here and stay normal about it??
