it happened

i miss home. something about poland spawned an evil missing of fashion. which spurred on into a complete desire for things american. gross. i wasn't supposed to miss anything for a year. bc i don't know. something about missing home makes it seem like i failed - -- i know that is irrational and dumb... but that is what feels real in this moment. and it's not failure. it's not like i've really missed anything yet... and it's not like i will continue to miss it forever. but this week i miss my family - both of them - and buying clothes and it being warm and eating food where i understand what they say to me and cloves and concerts with strongbow and life as it was. 

funny. emotions are funny. and annoying. more annoying than funny. so i miss you. all of you. and make it stop. a week of this is enough. can i go back to european bliss please?

Hey Lyds, you definitely haven't failed. Not even a bit. We all have down days, and who wouldn't miss the bliss of Taco bell once they know just how amazing it tastes? Right? So don't fear the sorrow, or let it lie to you. Missing things is part of what makes us a people who remember. Blessings, and I'll be praying for you :) Sarah

it's natural. some culture shock and tiredness from all the difference. but just in case you might want to go to a doctor and see if you haven't contracted wuss disease.

be thankful for having so much goodness to miss. whats left of life as it was will be here if/when you decide to return.
