Ma-chan

Hi.I’m a bisexual woman living in Osaka, and I’m one of the participants on Ma-chan’s project.

I’m also writing my story but I don’t feel angry from thinking of the past because I’m too old to get angry anymore.hahaha.Thinking about the past is sometimes very
sad, painful, and rough.I’ve been through these emotions when I was younger.

I was sad and angry when noone undertood me or somebody insulted me.
I was never happy while I was in Japan, but after staying in Vancouver, somehow I changed.I became confident, I was able to laugh at the people who had insulted me, I can forget all the sadness because I’m happy for who I am now.
Well,I still have problems, but I’ve got the strength to go through them.

If you want to share your feelings, especially your anger, you can write to me in Japanese. Because we have the similuar background(like growing up in Japan, being gay, being on this project,etc) you might feel better by exploding your emotions in Japanese.

Of course, I won’t tell anyone but Marlen about what you write to me.
Just remember, you’re always welcome to write to me.
Ma-chan can give my address if you ask him.
Ma-chan surely can guess who I am.

Gambatte on your story.You’re not the only one who are struggling.

From Y. living in Osaka
