For starters, I'm French and I've always wanted to live abroad for as far as I can remember. Two years ago, I got the chance to spend 9 months studying in Japan. While the first week was difficult, I really enjoyed my time here and worked on coming back to settle here.

I want back to France to save and lived with my parents for almost a year. Flash-forward to yesterday and finally taking that flight back to Japan I have been eagerly waiting for. I arrived today and, this evening, I can't stop crying over how much I miss my parents. It's been barely 10 hours and I already wonder if I made the right decision. I don't like how life is in France. But I love my parents more than anything and being away from them hurt so much. I don't know why the other 9 months went so much more easily.

What is your opinion on all of that? Do you think it's just a reaction to me just getting there? And, if so, how to overcome it?
