I am still sorry the experience with your host family didn’t turn out so well in the end. But I have to say again how proud of you am for going there and studying in the first place and then getting through it all.

Heh, my 12th grade English teacher told us rules to live by once we graduated, and one of them was move out of your parents house, even if its into the dorms at college. And I have definitely come to understand why, and now I think you do too. Because there is such a phenomenal amount of growth and maturation that happens when you don’t have that protective wing anymore, when it all relies on YOU. There is no other way to grow that way either besides to get out on your own. Its scary though isn’t it? But as you’ve said, you’ve already taken those first steps... and in another freaking country of all things.

You’ll be just fine, yes just fine.

Heh, the people stopping you on the streets to tell you how purdy you are though you didn’t tell me about. How cute! See I wasn’t lying when I told you you were gorgeous. My well endowed goddess.

You are a talented, kind, caring, and beautiful person, how could I ever not talk to you? The people who don’t know you truly don’t know what they are missing out on. You have supported me far more than I have ever been given the chance to support you. And its all due to your beautiful soul. I wish that I could pay you back more, you are one of the people I owe the most to. It has been a pleasure to know you. My sappiness aside, I do so enjoy fangirling with you!!1

Very good resolutions. You have such a passion for your writing that I have no doubt that you will succeed at it. As for the rest, confidence comes with experience eh? And I’ll do my best to be someone you can come to through it. If you want to talk about anything, or share your feelings or fears, don’t hesitate to call.
