These past few weeks I have been homesick... more homesick then I tend to get usually. I'm not sure if it is because of the influx of visitors and familiar faces that I have had over the past few weeks, or if its the anti-climax of entering May (a not so exciting month for me). Either way, I've been feeling quite sad.
Now, I won’t say that I haven’t met some amazing people here… I have. People who I consider my family when mine is so far away… people have stood by me through everything and acted in the place of those who are not able to be here.
Recently, I've had my best two girlfriends visiting me and learning about my new life here in London... and London is still more and more like home to me everday... there's no place like home, but London is pretty close.
Before they arrived, I turned to the Londoner and confessed..."I am so worried that because my life has changed so much in the last year since leaving Canada – my friendships would have changed as well." Of course he reassured me, but I think this is what I miss about home the most... the consistency of it all.
Originally I think that was what I was running from, the familiarity of it all just became a bit boring – but I’ve learned that all things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
