Being away from home for so long makes me realize and recollect all these past memories, especially with your closest and best friends. It makes me appreciate them that much more. I recently hung out with a friend whom I haven't seen since last summer and it's just one of the things that just made my whole break. I love how we still connect and bond like we see each other frequently even though we live over 500 miles apart. I love how we get along so well and complement each other's jokes. I just love how you know that your friends will always be your friends. It makes a smile tug upon my face :)
I love how my friends are willing to make the drive to San Francisco just to get dessert and see each other, even if it is only for one hour. And oh, how I LOVE the Bay Area so much - the people, the places, the feeling of home.
And of course, I can never forget family. We get annoyed of each other 24/7, but before I go to bed, I reflect upon my life and am so grateful to have my mom as my mom, dad as my dad, sister as sister, and brother as brother. I wouldn't trade them for the world. They have put up with all my bs and will still continue to do so in the future. <3
Sometimes I feel restless, uncertain, and scared for my future after college whenever I'm on break because I feel like I should be pursuing something at school.. but I've come to realize why. It's because home is my comfort place. Ironic, but maybe I'm scared that I'll get too attached to this comfort place - attached so much that I don't want to go back to school 500 miles away -scared that home is all I want.
Welcome to MY home.
