私の日本人友達：どこにありますか？？？

To : My future Japanese friend(s)

Hajimemashite, my name is Yalei
You don't know me yet, but we're going to have the coolest, funnest most awesome friendship ever. I don't know where you are or even who you are. Maybe i've passed you riding on the train, in line touching up my Pasmo, whilst i'm in the smoking area or in the Konbini but right now, you're not in my life. Here are some reasons why we we're going to have a great time together.

1. I'm not stingey with money and i'll bribe you to stay out with me
2. I am not judgmental at all. You can tell me the most embarrassing, weird and confronting stuff and i'll still want to hang out with you
3. I'm really funny and you'll be laughing constantly when we're together
4. Despite all of this, i know how to act in public and i'll never embarrass you

I'm someone who is genuine and real. I don't go out of my way to make life shit for anybody. Right now, my Japanese sucks but that's going to change because i have a super adaptable personality that picks vibes/things/information up super fast. I can see us together already. Me and You together in this city of flashing lights and neon. I can see us laughing, shopping, eating, drinking. I can see me greeting you with a hug even if you feel weird about it because that's just what i'm like. I can see us telling each other the realest stuff and then feeling good because we need people to accept us for who we are. You'll call me Y Chan and i'll call you ______ chan.

Right now, i'm sitting in my room and wondering when i'll meet you. I'm thinking about how great it's going to be when we do. I'm thinking about how our friendship is going to develop, what you'll think of me, how i'll think of you and the world that you are about to open up to me. I'm looking forward to the pace that we'll get to know each other. Slowly because that's how anything long term develops. You know, it's really true what they say about it taking a long time to find friends when you move to a new country. It can take up to a year, they say and man do i believe them. But when the moment is right and i do find you, it's going to be amazing.

I can't help but notice how many people there are here in Tokyo. There are so many. Much more than Melbourne, even on a night when the football is on and the train is packed. That's what it's like everyday here. Out of all those people, at least one of them has got to be you. I wonder what you're doing now, what you look like, where you live and what your name is in Kanji. I wonder if you'll be a girl or a boy. And if you are a boy, i wonder if i'll end up falling in love you with you even though i am over love for life. Don't speak English to me because i want to learn Japanese. I want to work at it so it's easy for you to be with me. I want to push myself to make it easier for you. I know that sounds weird, but that's just the truth.

I want you to show me the parts of Tokyo that no foreigner would ever know about. I want you to tell me what living in Japan as a native is actually like. Will you come to Korea with me if we get there in our friendship? Because i so, very much want to go to Korea. I know you're out there but you're still too far away for me to gauge. Only time will bring me closer to you. Only hundreds of hours can bridge me to the gate which only you can decide to open for me. But when you do, i'll be there 100%.
