Is 15 too much???

So, kinda funny, but not funny funny — confession time! I have not felt this homesick in….forever lol I am SUCH a family oriented person and wouldn’t know what I would do without my family. I called my mom 15 times today, and it is only 4pm. The first few times I called her she didn’t answer, and when she did she said she had to call me back 🙄 When a few hours went by and I still didn’t hear from her, you know what I did?! YUP, I sure did! I called that lady asking her where has she been and why is she acting like she can’t talk to me, etc. You know what her response to me was?! She had the audacity to tell me she was at work! I respectfully told her, “Look here lady, I don’t care, talk to me! I miss you!” 😩😂 She kindly responded, “Girl bye!” … and hung up! 🙃 Y’all, my feelings were big hurt!

As I was walking over from class to work, I was thinking to myself about ways I can still feel connected with my family without having to actually talk to them or physically be with them. Here’s what I came up with…

Going out to explore different areas in my community that I haven’t yet, doing things that reminds me of family that warms my heart, painting, sharing and hearing funny stories with friends, and being more active in the different organizations I am member of.

What am I missing? How do you deal with homesickness? Please share, I am ALL ears!!
