What if I wanted to break?

Well, I feel like most of this blog has been spent on the positive side of this whole "living abroad thing", and I felt that maybe I should put an honest, raw, "I'm homesick" entry in.. because it happens. A lot of the time, I'm so glad that I'm here, I can see the growth in myself the more I push through this extremely difficult experience, but sometimes I really just...

want to go home. I miss my bed, my comforter. I miss baths. I miss always understanding what people are saying. I miss radio stations. I miss knowing what the food is at a market, or restaurant. I miss hugs. I miss southern accents. I miss my niece and my family. I miss having people that really... really care about me. Honestly, I just miss being comfortable. Completely comfortable. I miss having everything readily accessible. I miss knowing that if I go through a stop light, the likelihood is that I won't get hit... I miss not getting soaked with sweat/rain every time I decide to go somewhere. I miss so much, but I'm trying to remember why I came abroad, and why I have decided to stay for 11 more months... maybe someone could refresh my memory? please.

Hope you're all well! Take care.
