yesterday.
there are just so many yesterdays.
happy,sad,good,bad yesterdays.
it's the thinking back of the past that somehow makes us cherish the present.. or regret it.
i guess feeling homesick is inevitable given that u have never left "home" for so long to a faraway place.
but it's the little things that we experienced through our lives that makes us stronger, more learned perhaps?
i hope thinking back of ur fond memories help u kill homesickness. always look on the bright side of life though. a couple of months later, u will be back home sweet home.just hang in there!
take care loads.
and don't give urself so much stress.
