Nothing hits harder than seeing your close friends and family linking up every weekend, doing the same things y’all grew up doing together, and knowing you’re not there anymore.
My sisters will call me while they’re all together, headed to HEB, Buc-ee’s, grabbing food, or just out doing regular family stuff, and I’m sitting there like… yeah, I’m definitely too far from home.
That’s why when people ask if I’m staying in my current city, I laugh. I’ve tried to make it feel like home, but it just never clicked for me. The vibe is different, the connection is different, and after a while you stop trying to force something that just doesn’t fit.
I miss my people. I miss the random link-ups. I miss being able to just pull up without everything having to be planned weeks in advance.
So yeah, I’m looking forward to going back home.
