If you have lived in Tokyo for more than a few years, you are intimately familiar with the "Sayonara Season." But we rarely talk about the cumulative emotional toll it takes on the people who stay behind.
When your closest friends constantly cycle out of the country, it creates a unique kind of exhaustion. You might find yourself unconsciously putting up walls with newcomers and expats to avoid getting hurt again, or even experiencing a strange sense of guilt or stagnation as you watch others launch into their "next chapter" back home.
