I was forced to write a new entry for my blog because one of my 'readers' demanded(threatened) me to do so.
So fine, this is for you. Feel touched?
Well, don't. Cause you owe me yet ANOTHER meal.
Homesick, according to The Free Dictionary.com means,
acutely longing for one's family or home OR depressed or melancholy at being away from home and family.
Yes that is the meaning of homesick. And that is what I will be talking about.
Boring, you say. Yes what to do I am a boring person, I write boring things, if I'm boring you, then look me in my eyes that will be boring into yours.
What I'm trying to say is that before I left for college, I've heard people saying that they are homesick, that they want to go home, that they miss their family. I admit I was worried that that will happen to me too after I'm in Subang.
Recurring thoughts of "what if I miss my mum and dad?", "what if I cannot get used to this place", "what if I cannot sleep at night?" and all the "what if's" came rushing towards me.
But after a year, all that I can say is, HOMESICKNESS is a ton of BULLSHIT.
Well, at least for me.
Why? Because I did not feel the longing for my family or my home or bed or kitchen or toilet or whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I managed to sleep very well every single night and I've grown fond of the bed I have in my hostel. If I wanted to see my parents there's Skype.
And just because I don't feel homesick does that make me care less about my family back here in Taiping?
NO. For some unknown reason, I care more about them (which is good) and I learn to appreciate them more.
So I've come to a conclusion that a person that seldom goes back does not necessarily mean that they don't care about their family. They just don't see the need of going back every other weekend and coming back again a few days later.
So don't go behind my back talking about how irresponsible I am as a daughter who seldom comes back as much as compared to other daughters/sons.
AND if seasickness = suffering from nausea and dizziness,
THEN homesickness = suffering from staying at home too long.
