Miles from Home

4635 miles away... yes that's how far i am from my home right now. It's not easy and totally not relatable to everyone reading this right now but try to relate it like a metaphor for our modern day lives. Hands down staying with the people you love is the priority - your family, friends etc. But there are some weirdos like me who actually tend to go out of their comfortable lives to see how it feels like being an adult in a foreign land. 

It's almost the same, almost! The dialect is not ours. It's English- it has to be. But the rush is the same. The constant need to get going is the same, the urge to do something big and the urge to simply perform is uncanny. The only difference is that you are alone out there trying your best not to be intimidated by the fact that you are far from your home- your comfortable life. 

Yes, sometimes there's a breakdown and it's not easy being able to do everything all by yourselves. But one day at a time. Cooking is always the surprise element. Sometimes you may feel like you could easily give auditions for Masterchef and sometime you are too lazy to be hungry. But eventually being a human you have  to interact with someone. And that's necessary even if you are an "introvert". Then you just carry on, living your lives, making dinner and trying to enjoy the weekends.

Also this is not just the story of those who stay abroad, its the story of all those dearies who are staying in a different city for various other reasons. It takes time but then gradually you are too busy to even whine about it. Aren't we all growing up ? And that's just life happens. It takes you to places you have never thought of going and giving you enough experiences to make it on to your own. Appreciate whatever is happening with you- sometimes it takes years to go out of a mundane cycle of schedule and actually do something worth living for. It's a risk but the consequences are your choice, accept and move on or stay bitter- either way life goes on.

This may seem a bit different to what one feels- i penned my own perspective. And this is not something i wrote cause of being "homesick" cause for me that's not even a term, I call it missing home because there is no sickness involved- it's just a state of mind!
