The Odd Enlightenment of Television.

A little something something that I'm sure we all want to tell Renee. I got this idea after reading her sister's story she posted up and I thought we could go for a little story ourselves, right? I heard this story a couple of hours ago on television is a TV show and I thought it was worthwhile telling you guys.

Well, all stories have to start a little like this: Once upon a time...

there was a little boy and he was walking through the forest with his mum when they came across a big rock. The little boy asked his mum, "Do you think I can move that big rock, Mummy?" And she replied, "If you try your hardest, I know you can." His mum watched him as he tried his hardest to lift the rock, but the rock didn't move. But his mum continued to watch him and smile at him with unconditional love.

I guess you thinking this is the reassuring ending, but there's more and even better ending than that...

She then walked up to him and grabbed hold of the rock. It wasn't light, but together, they lifted up the rock and his mother said to him, "Sweetie, sometimes trying you hardest means asking for help."

That pretty much sums up what I want to say. Not just to See, but to everyone.

To Renee: Like you said, we're the ones you can trust and look to for help if you ever need it. I know you're trying your hardest for the people around you and just know that we're around and we can help you ease the pressure, even if it's just for one moment of your day. I know you don't want to burden us with your problems and that kind of thing, but we're you mates and we are always willing to lift a little of that rock for you.

Hi guys! In Nagoya at the moment, with my host family. I'm allowed to use their computer! So hello :D

The trip's been GREAT so far! I still need to send you guys postcards, ne. Oops, sorry D: Ne, so we flew to Narita Airport, then went to Hiroshima! Visited Miyajima Island, and the Itsukushima Shrine. IT'S SO COOL - they have deer (shika) walking around everywhere, and you can just walk right up to them and pat them and luvo with them! LOL! Hehehe.

We went to the Genpaku Dome and the Hiroshima Peace Museum as well. Kirei deshita, demo totemo sabishikute kanashikatta desu yo ne. :( BUT WE DID LOTS OF SHOPPING THOUGH! Hope you'll like your presents. Especially you, Lauren. I bought you a toilet.

Ne. My English level is like WAAAAAAAY down since I'm speaking Japanese all the time. So sorry about my weird syntax and grammar and whatever.

Ja, it's kinda late now, so I'm off to bed x__________x oyasumi! Talk to you soon :D
