I was thinking about homesickness the other day and I started analyzing why I missed home so much. Why do I miss going out with my sister? Why do I miss sleeping on my mother’s lap? Why do I miss watching Cartoon Network with my baby brother? And more importantly, why do the people here (in America) not miss their families?
At first it seemed pretty obvious. First of all, I was raised in a society that was built on close family ties and second of all, I’ve lived at home my entire life! Never been away from my mom for more than 2-3 months and that’s when SHE travels and I’m still living in my house!
If I move to Italy with the future love of my life, in my own home would I still miss them? Is it THEM that I miss or is it what they represent? How do the people that live abroad do it? I’m sure they miss them but do they miss them like I miss them?? I mean they miss them after having not seen them for year! I’ve been here for nearly 2 years and I’ve been home since and i still miss them like CRAZY. I always want to know who’s doing what and who’s upset with who.
Is it a girl thing? Is it a Kuwaiti thing? Is it a human thing? MANIFAHMA but I need it to stop because I can’t miss them more than I already am. It’s stopping me from doing work and from processing things around me!
Ba3dain it’s my dream to move to italy before I’m 30, with the love of my life, and pick flowers! I don’t want to move JUST to pick flowers, I want to work there and pick flowers on my spare time :-p but flowers are involved nontheless! How am I going to do it then? I want to pick up and leave and only visit Kuwait once every year or two. So does missing the people in your life only work when you have no one to replace them with? If I had a lover and a house and a job somewhere else, would I miss them the same?
