Ever since I was old enough to speak, I was confused by the question "Where are you from?"
I was growing up in Japan, but I knew that I was not Japanese. I knew I was an Uzbek citizen but I did not speak Japanese. I spoke and thought in Russian, but I knew I did not look remotely Russian. Perhaps if I had stayed in Japan, I could eventually grow accustomed to calling myself Japanese, especially abroad, but I didn't. I left for Europe with my family at the age of 10. It was then that I realized that only place which felt like home was Japan. That I myself was a boy with no place to belong in, but only a place to long for.
Every passing day, I float further away from my true home. In the meantime, I have learned to skillfully evade questions about my nationality.
Maybe someday I can return to the one I love most - my country, Japan.

Just needed a place to vent. I'm finally able to pay for my own survival, but the more I become accustomed to living a comfortable life in Europe, the harder it will be to move to Japan.

Use your time to develop useful technical abilities that you can transfer over
Try and learn the language before you go back

I know the language. I was raised there.
My entire education and all my experience was all in order to be employable in Japan as a software engineer

You speak moonspeak like a native Japanese, amigo?

I definitely used to, but I probably have a bit of an accent now and my Japanesevocabulary is at the level of a 10 year-old. My kanji knowledge is also quite limited, but I am trying my best to learn a new kanji/kanji combo a day so as to be prepared for my grand return.

Well if you were raised there just say that you come from Japan. Who gives a shit if it's technically true or not.
