Going back home the first time is a must. Being homesick can be hidden deep inside you without realizing it.. it might be something that’s haunting you but you keep pushing it away, until it just hits you and you can’t take it anymore, yet you don’t know what exactly is going wrong.. it’s when your life is split into two, when you’re doing one thing here but thinking of what can be done there.. it’s then when you should think that maybe you need to enjoy what you have more and stop thinking about the what ‘might be’..
The good thing about being back is that it gets you to face reality and your true feelings. And when you make sure that your family is doing great.. friends are cool.. everything is just the way it is, the way it was just before you leave.. you’d miss it back there.. you’d miss being away! When you get to spend some lonely mornings, while everyone is at work.. it’s then when you realize that they’re all moving with their lives but you are in this unexplainable break.. and you just need to move on.. just like everyone else!
Being home for the first time, makes you value what you had.. treasure what you experienced while being away.. It gives you all the strength that was not there, especially when you finally believe that your parents are happy when you’re happy.. they are proud of you when you’re achieving your dreams.. being far doesn’t mean that they would love you any less, on the contrary it just means that they respect your choice in building the future.. and they would love you just as much, if not even more..

Home to me, has always been the best place to be :)
Home to me is close to my loved ones.. if not, then it’s where my hubby, future, education, career is..
Well said, we some times feel guilty when we move forward and think that the people we left behind are standing still, its when we realize that the world is not standing still that we no longer feel guilty and appreciate what we are doing even more.
Tamara.. very true!! :) the feeling of guilt is usually what holds you back most of the time, and worrying about the loved ones!
I worry that by being away I have affected in a negative way the people I love only to take a trip home to find everybody is moving forward and am the one stuck..Guilt is a terrible feeling..
Home to me is never a physical thing :)
noura.. yes guilt and worrying both are negative feelings.
sara.. :) it’s not!
im sorry i dont get it, r u back home to sydney or back home to amman?
it was healthy to be back in Amman.. :) this is what i meant!!
How nice! I’m so glad you were rejuvenated by your visit. Home is wherever I happen to be for more than a week. But as you said, home is not so much a place, as it is the people. If all your family went to Sydney, then Sydney would be home. Or the Moon. Wherever.
I know exactly how it feels. I couldn’t take it to be away from home. I discovered that I’m so attached to it that I can’t feel at home anywhere else. Now that I’m back I feel so good, yet I miss hubby so badly. I’m still not able to make a balance between where I belong and where I’m supposed to be :(
yeah.. if you go there alone you’d miss him a lot, and won’t enjoy your stay that much.. but when you get back, you’d be so happy that everyone back home is ok, and that you’re back!! believe me .. :)
Marvin.. yeah this is what I kept telling them! if they’re all here with me.. i wouldn’t think about going to Amman that much.. home is where the people are, the loved ones, the family.. and not a certain place!
