Are you happy? What are you up to right now? Are you still working at Kyoudou En? It&#8217;s been five years, and I want to thank you for your hard work and perseverance through all the challenges. How&#8217;s your job now? You&#8217;ve probably become a full-time employee, which must be quite demanding. But don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ve got this. Keep pushing forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the customers still doing well? Lately, everyone seems to catch colds often, so please take care as always. Mr. Tezuka is still in the hospital; it&#8217;s worrisome. Also, yesterday was Mr. Jisseki&#8217;s birthday. He smiled and talked to me for the first time. It made me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, both work and studying have been tough for me. I need to pass the N2 exam in December. There are tests at work too. If I don&#8217;t pass, my salary won&#8217;t increase, so I have to do my best. The stress is building up, but I&#8217;ll persevere for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How&#8217;s your life going? Are you living alone now? You&#8217;re probably enjoying more freedom than I do. You don&#8217;t have the stress of studying, right? Do you go out and have fun on weekends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you remember our dreams? Have you traveled anywhere in Japan? Have you been to Hokkaido or Tokyo yet? Have you climbed Mount Fuji? If you haven&#8217;t, please go as soon as possible. Please, just once\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How&#8217;s your savings going? Have you saved a lot? Did you have enough for your trip to China? Egypt too. Don&#8217;t forget. Laughs, laughs. It must be exciting. I hope time is flying for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a significant other now? If you don&#8217;t, don&#8217;t bother looking for one. Being single is always the best, isn&#8217;t it? If you do, it&#8217;s okay to get married when your job is stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still have one more year to work in Japan, right? Have you decided what to do after that? Whether to return to your home country or stay a little longer in Japan? It&#8217;s a tough decision, but there&#8217;s no choice. I trust you with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I want to finish this letter now. Thank you for always holding onto our dreams. I&#8217;ll work harder from now on. Please keep up the good work too. Take care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the me of five years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello.How are you doing? Are you happy? What are you up to right now?
