I am so exhausted. I think the outcome would have been a bit different had I not gone to 5 sets with Tezuka in the semifinal, but I can't be too hard on myself. Losing to Nadal at the French Open in my first tournament since last season is pretty good. I held my own, so no complaints. Plus, it's a huge smack in the face to those who didn't think I could come back. If Serena can do it, so can I.

Our flight home is tomorrow? I can't remember for sure, but it will be nice to go home for a small stretch before flying out to London in a couple of weeks. I thought about just staying here then heading to London, but decided going home would be better.

Why do people have such bad timing when discussing not-so-good things? It's stupid and completely unhelpful. Obviously, you shouldn't talk about bad news when someone is in a good mood, but at least give the other person some time to breathe before having a serious discussion.

He really is! On the plus side, we decided to stay friends. Long distance sucks, so I'm not too mad about the breakup. I texted him as soon as I landed to let him know I got home safe and he sent a string of emoji. Lost a boyfriend, gained a new friend.

I slept some after the match. Or most of the flight. Can't really remember with all the time changes.

A couple of weeks at home will be nice.

~~Yeah. It wasn't a bad break up. I understood why. At least we're still friends. I think even Sanada ended up liking him.~~

Thanks! Once I've gotten enough sleep and can look at it objectively, I think I'll see things differently. The loss is still fresh. I am proud, but I don't know. It hasn't really sunk in yet.

C'est la vie.

So, since you did stupidly well, does this mean we have a cat cafe date?

Hardly. That's like saying kendo and judo are the same.

Obviously, I would know this person travelled and lived abroad before entering into a relationship with them. And if I agreed to it at the start, I would find ways to make it work. If I didn't think I could handle it, I would be open at the start and probably not start dating them. That seems the rational course of action.

Since I didn't win, I'm not renting out the place for the day, but yes, we can still go.

I know that.

It was a passionate affair, Sanada. Sometimes you don't think about those things until the dust has settled. I was delaying the inevitable since I really like him.

That's natural, I think~ The whole thing must have been a bit of a whirlwind and pretty overwhelming. You played some amazing tennis.

The best thing to do is just keep moving forward~ ♥

That's cool that you can see it that way. Good on you. ♥

Long distance does seriously suck.

Even with technology it's a pain in the ass. Physicality can be incredibly important.

It doesn't feel overwhelming in the moment. Once you're out of it though... hits you like a ton of bricks. Here's hoping I can continue that into the next stretch of matches.

Exactly. Wimbledon is in a few weeks. :)

That's very disappointing. Oh well, I'll just have to coat my body in cat food so they come sleep on me instead of looking at the other patrons of the store.

Believe me, I wish I would have won too, but that's not how it works.

I won't go with you if you are coated in cat food.

We should go in a quiet time, then. So I can have all the cats to myself. And cat food won't be necessary.

You would know those times best.

... heh.

That is why I save my passion for sports and competitions.

There's something amazing about a passionate love affair, Genichirou. I hope you get to experience it one day.

The thought of one doesn't fill me with the level of anyicipation and excitement I'm sure you'd want.

No need for anticipation or excitement. You feel the passion in the relationship.

Weren't you describing a fling?

Adrian wasn't a fling. There can be passion in relationships that aren't flings.

It was passionate and short. Is that not a fling?

A few days or weeks, sure, but not a few months.

I know you’re very much not. But sometimes you push harder than is wise.

When have I done that?

(ooc: he doesn't think he's ever pushed himself too far >>; )
