Is it normal...

[BamaFan2989]

Hey guys, long time no see. This is my first post in weeks!!

I want to post on here more and stuff, but I never get around to it.

For one, is it normal to start to lose interest in Japan? I haven't studied the language in a while, because of school. Plus, I am taking French 1 now. I love French by the way!! I haven't learned a lot, but I am getting there.

Well guys, it's good to be back, and I hope to have many debates!! (fun ones) ^_^

Welcome back.
No, it not normal, it's abnormal. You should always love Japan once you find an interest in it. ☝
I hope that answers your question.

Heh its quite normal to have your tastes and interests change at your age.

 

[BamaFan2989]

Yeah, but I love watching Japanese Dramas, Anime, Japanese Girls!! (Sugoi Desu Ne?!?!?!) I just don't want that desire of Japan to leave.

I am still going to hang in there!!

Love Hurts~

Oh, you remind me of my youthful days
When I used to listen to the song
On my radio, or the long tapes on the reel,
Woo~woo love hurts~.

Hey, Japan won't go away.
Once you (love) someone,
That doesn't go away,
It just becomes part of you.

But I guess you're talking about PASSION!
Did you know by the way, we also have the French Quarters,
With quite a few French instructors teaching
Right in the middle of Japan Land? :car:

haha. of course you can become bored of something you once liked, even if it's a whole country or culture. It's human nature. I'm always buying cd's out here and getting dead bored of them for a while...the interests come back. just give it time. Get into french if that's what makes you happy now... you'll still come back loving Japanese things even more.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE "JREF" CURSE ??

I heard it through the grapevine! Many poor fomer members who lost interest in JREF have had terrible things happen to them and their loved ones.
If you don't want to put your life & loved ones lives in great danger, you must not only check in and read the Forum posts daily, you must post at least once a week for good fortune! Stay safe, avoid your worst nightmare!

Sorry, jet_dee, that was mean of me...
I should have respected your wish to be decent.

Frank, this curse is bullshit. I left JREF for some month and even didn't bother to READ posts, and nothing happend too me.

I suppose it's like they say "Bad things won't happen to bad people (or demons, and I'm the latter)"

I heard they become like den4 and discover they know absolutely nothing!

on a serious note, it is possible to become so obsessed with something that one naturally just burns out, leaving a pile of cinder and ash on the ground, leaving your sneakers (or whatever you use for footwear) where you once stood.....this is opposed to the spontaneous combustion that some people are said to do when they leave this forums for good

Chill oput Kama, Frank was only making a joke! Or was he? Hmmmmm.

Try intersecting more with the people, friends, pen pals, whatever, well, with the exception of maybe not girlfriends at your age.... I wouldn't have nearly as much interest if there weren't real life connections sucking me back every few months into the dramas of their lives....
