Japan > Everywhere else
OMG! *m*
This is Japan in a nutshell. Forget all the crazy stuff with the weird tv programs and the cosplaying—that’s just the outer shell that gets attention because it’s unusual. This, this is the beauty of the country. I’ve had little grandmothers chase me down because I dropped my shinkansen tickets. In amusement parks, the attendants do their upmost to get lost items (usually cardigans or kids’ shoes) back to the owners—before the owners even realize they’d lost said item(s). I’ve had complete strangers not only give my thorough directions but have offered to drive me to the place I needed to go.
It is so, so, so hard to go back to the States after you get the J-treatment. I mean, Japan has its downside (“What is this madness you call pizza???”), but the general attitudes of everyone—even the so-called hardcore yankees (two of whom who, on a blazing summer day, helped me find one of my schools when I was heinously lost in the labyrinth that is the neighborhood in which said school is located)—is the epitome of the mindset that I wish everyone would adopt. Because yelling at people gets you nowhere. And being able to empathize with people kinda helps make this country a really nice place to live in.

THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE POST I’VE SEEN ON TUMBLR
You gotta be fucking kidding me
OH HELL NAH
What was your Favorite crush or relationship?
Hmm, well I’ve only had one relationship, so that one is automatically my favourite :P but crushwise, I’d have to say Jensen Ackles. cause that counts right?
I found out that I might have inflammatory breast cancer. I've decided that if I have it, I'm not going to get treatment. I'm so scared. I'm too young for this.
I really wish I knew who you were and I could come cuddle you and hug you and tell you it will be alright and try my best to make everything better :( I have no idea how hard that must be to go through, but there’s still a chance you might not have it, right? You have to hold on to that, and hope that it’s a false alarm. Who knows? Maybe it’ll all work out! Just try not to be too worried, worrying never helped anyone. I know it must be difficult, but I don’t know what to say other than to be as optimistic as you can, and don’t be afraid to go to someone you know for help and comfort.
I wonder if the young girls playing on the trampoline next door know that
- I can see them
- I can hear them singing You Can’t Stop The Beat from Hairspray
- they are really bad singers and
- I can probably get a YouTube-worthy video of them from my current position
gUYS I PUT ON MY COUSINS HOCKEY MASK AND STOOD AT THE WINDOW AND YELLED “STOP YOUR INFERNAL SINGSONG I’M TRYING TO MURDER HERE” AND THEY SCREAMED AND TRIED TO RUN AWAY AND ONE FELL OVER AND STARTED CRYING
in 7 years its going to be the 20s again so we can bring back swing music and the aesthetics of that era but keep modern values who’s with me
i was at the bus stop with my sister the other day and for no apparent reason, she says: ‘dude, there are more dead people in the world than living people’ and the woman standing beside me whispered ‘holy shit’ and i fucking lost it
