5 months is a long time to be away from home. How are you doing? You homesick yet? Can you envision returning or are you at a point where you feel like your life is more suited to being abroad?
I don't really know how I'm doing, to be honest. Mixed feelings. Living abroad has been a great experience, but I still can't quite fathom that I'm halfway across the globe. On the one hand, living here has made me realize how arbitrary my concept of home is, that I'm much more independent than I thought. On the other hand there are important parts of myself that I feel like I cannot express anywhere but my 'real' home. I've had multiple moments of feeling homesick, but I don't want that feeling to limit me while I'm still here. I'm gonna try to make the most out of these last two weeks, but I also look forward to coming home.How are you doing?
