The Life and Times of S

Happy Easter

So I'm leaving for India next Thursday. For three weeks. People ask me if I'm excited. And I don't know what to say. Every trip back Home is accompanied by mixed feelings. And here's why:

First, the journey, even though every last minute of the 48 hours is worth it, is incredibly long. Especially when one is alone.

Second, I am so happy everytime I see my family. I cherish the days I spend with him. Becauase they are so few and far between. But even the time I do spend with them is tainted with the fact that I'm going to be right back where I started in a few weeks time. Missing my family the same way I miss them every single minute of every single day I spend without them.

Third, everytime I go there, I fall back into my pre-Canada routine so fast, its like I never left. But everytime I come back here, it takes me weeks and weeks and weeks to get used to life back here.

And lastly, everytime I go there, I don't miss here.

So when people ask if I'm excited, I don't know what to say.
