Homesick #MindBattle Day 15

20:00

I'm homesick. I can hear my mom's voice in my head 'you're not sick in Jesus' name' 😩 I have been homesick for a while but in recent days, it seems to be growing in intensity. It's all fun and games and life too when you spend 2+ years away from family till it begins to dawn on you that you're growing up and so is everyone.

These days, my mind is full of thoughts of when next I'll see my parents, my siblings and all of my family members, especially the ones that are under 3 because they were born while I was away. I'm constantly dreaming of the smiles that'll be on their faces when they see me again. I wonder if I'll cry. God knows that I miss my parents a lot. 

It is funny how 6+ years have passed by so quickly. It was only yesterday when I was packing my bags to go to uni. Sometimes, I cry because I really just want to be around my family. You know, friends are cool. You meet people that you even call family but nothing replaces family, at least, for me.

I am counting down the days till I see them but till then, I'll enjoy every moment here because these are to be enjoyed too.

I didn't do much today. I don't do much these days. I can even count the number of people I spoke with today. I don't know if it's a good thing. My daily routine includes going to class (which is 5 minutes from my hostel) and coming back to lay on my bed till the next morning. I should go outside a little more. I'm sure my mind can benefit from that especially since this week is a little warm.

I'm trying to listen to at least one episode of a podcast daily. Today I listened to 'How Married Are You?' I would totally recommend it for everyone, whether you're in a relationship or not. I just really like how real they are about their struggles and how they work through them. Listening to them give advice to people also gives insight into how I want my future relationship to be like.

I didn't create anything today. I don't know how I feel about that. This is still a journey and we still move.

After writing today's post, I called my family and it was the best 1 hour of my day so far. I'm grateful for the technology that allows long-distance connections. Also, congratulations to you, little brother. You're big now, you know what, I'll leave this for tomorrow's entry.

There's a battle in my mind. It is full of anxiety and untrue thoughts. This is a documentary on how I win.
See you tomorrow at 20:00 GMT +2
