Somethings Missing

“Maybe you had to leave in order to miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.” 

Jodi Picoult

So today it finally hit me, I actually felt homesick. I have been staying so busy and keeping in contact with all my friends and family back home, but something about today just hit me hard. Maybe its the fact my birthday is in 6 days and i cant spend it with my favorite humans in the whole world, or that I have finally slowed down to stop and think. It is probably honestly a little of both. I typically usually do something small with the people closest to me. I miss home, I miss all the little things that im familiar with that become routine to me in my normal life. I miss soft serve icecream twist with chocolate jimmies (sprinkles). I miss my family and friends especially. Being able to come home to the people who know you the best, the ones who can bring you up when you’er down, the people who are there for the best of times and the worst of times. The people that love your weirdness to no end and accept you for who you are. Dont get me wrong ive made some great friends here who except me for me. But its definitely hard being away from the people who know everything about you. Like the quote says sometimes you do need to leave to miss a place. Being here I appreciate everyone at home who has supported me and stayed in contact to ask how I am. I am so appreciative to be here experiencing all that I have and continue to, sometimes you miss the comforts of place you call home. Sometimes its good to step out of those comforts so you can grow as a person and become not only stronger, but discover a whole new you. It is still hard especially around the times you are meant to spend with close friends and family. Everyone at home if you read this just know I miss you and appreciate all you have done for me to help me get to where I am now. Without any of you guys I would not be here and I wouldn’t have any body to miss back home. I am appreciative I have good enough friends and family that I can miss back home.
