Where's home?
This past weekend I went home for the first time since I left for college. I thought it was going to be great seeing my mom and my dog along with all my friends for the first time in a month. But it was not the same. Home did not feel like home. When I reached home I realized how much I missed everyone on my floor and what they were doing and what I was going to miss out on. I realized that instead of calling the place I grew up in my home I kept saying I cannot wait to go back home (Muncie). Not even an hour after reaching home I was already texting my roommate telling her about my speeding ticket. I’m not sure if it is just me but I feel like Muncie is my new home and home is just not the same anymore.

I felt the exact same way when I went back home to Carmel. Things just did not feel the same. It seemed like the whole world had completely gone in a different direction while I was in a world that I loved so much. Talk about awkward. haha, but yeah I feel ya!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. When I went home I felt like I was alone. My parents were mad at me because I didn't want to spend time with them, but I've spent the past 18 years with them. I don't know how I'm going to survive over winter break or summer. That time is going to be the longest and most boring time ever.
ReplyDeleteI felt like that the first time I went home also. I almost felt awkward and out of place, like I don't belong there anymore. And like you I was texting my roommate all weekend asking what she was up to.
