In Actuality, Are You Homesick?

Things I miss a lot:

Lifetime movies

Panera/fro yo

Curtains and comfy blankets

Puns

Smiling strangers

Hugs

High fives

Eavesdropping

Most said questions:

What is that?

What time do we do that?

We're going where?

And you?

How do I pronounce my first name again? (I still can't.)

Why?

Most asked questions:

Do you have a boyfriend? No

How long are you in France? 8 weeks

Can I come live with you? Yes

"Are you homesick?"

No.

In my opinion, homesickness is wishing I were home. I'm not someone who thinks like that.

There are a lot of elements from home that I would like to have currently, yes, but I am not homesick.

"But don't you miss your family?"

I hate saying "I'll miss you" because the reality is just that I'll be happy when I see you again, rather than torn apart when we're separated.

This doesn't mean I don't have feelings, it just means I am realistic. I can love you without missing you.

Am I glad I came?

Yeah, I think so.
