We have reached the official 6months away from the motherland mark, and to be honest, I do feel a bit homesick today. Maybe not so much that I actually want to go back, but its the little things we don't have that makes it the worst. Like jumping into bed with the parentals on a lazy Sunday morning, or the smell of my dad's aftershave in the morning before work, Friday nights in with pizza and a stack of DVDs, and having to fight off a silly puppy that wants to lick your eyeball the moment you wake up. Small, maybe insignificant things that make you sad, but it also makes you smile when you think about them.
Its strange how our perception of life has changed the past few months. Fine we are in a harsh unforgiving environment, but I can take a walk outside at 2:00am and not be afraid of anything. Locks have become obsolete, and the rules of society unimportant. Its hard to imagine driving at speeds of 120km/h or being stuck in traffic. The thought of noisy, overcrowded malls tends to put a damper on the desire for new clothes.
This simple life fascinates me, but it does get lonely at times.
I guess its the people we love that keep us sane, how else do we survive in that crazy world..
Love you guys, I'm very lucky to have you!
