Functioning on a sleep deficit and a indecisive, nauseating tummy, I still find the need to say something about what I am feeling and thinking about recent events.
I arrived not long ago at the Gold Coast airport feeling rather weak both in flesh and spirit. My body isn't accustom to being shaken like a champagne bottle in the sky. Needless to say, I was seriously affected by the turbulence in the air that I kept puking all I ate and drank and did not have sufficient sleep.
Emotionally, I was standing in between Sadness and Thankfulness. I am thankful to have been able to come home over my Summer break to reunite with my family and loved ones. Though 36 days was not enough for both parties, I am grateful nevertheless. Sad? Well I won't be seeing my family for another year.
People have this idea about distance and how it makes the heart grow fonder. Yes it does. It wrecks you as well because the slightest reminder of their lack of physical presence in your life, say stumbling upon your sister's favourite soaps, or hearing someone laugh the way like your father does, or listening to a song that reminders you of your mother, it always brings you back to a time and place when you were all together. The problem with that is, it is not the same in reality and the process of coming to terms with that is awfully hard.
What more embarking on the insane idea of a Long Distance Relationship? I will not go into that for the time being. It is still too soon for me.
There isn't a point in this blog post. I just miss my family and my love a little too much today. Bear with me.
With Love,
Rachel
