My homesick struggle has suprisingly come with marriage, not college. It has nothing to do with the amazing man I married or the house we work hard to provide for our family, but the totally different area I live in now. Being raised in the Appalachias and now living in MB is totally a 180. I had community back "home." Here, everyone is from somewhere else and I struggle to call it home.
Yes! Comments like yours are why I'm writing this series. It just goes to show that homesickness can hit you at any age, when you least expect it, when you're a well-adjusted, happy adult, and it can last longer than you think it will. Some of those feelings never quite leave us; I've been deeply affected and profoundly sad over the years when I'm reminded of what I miss. It's okay to mourn the past and there's no shame in feeling uncomfortable in the present. Even when you feel alone, please know you're not alone.
