There is no place else like home. Recently I have such a strong feeling about this line. I have always thought that being able to leave home and travel around to other places is such a wonderful thing to do. Without the nagging of my parents I will be able to do a lot of things. I will be able to go out with my friends and not have to beg for my parents for permission; I will be able to study, go to bed, watch TV and go shopping whenever I like. I will be the one who is telling me what to do not my parents.
But after one semester of playing and fooling around all I feel is the emptiness inside me, as if I was a soul with out a body. The more hard I play the more empty I felt in my heart. It seems that I have lost something significant in my heart. Last week I went home reluctantly because I was forced by my parents to do so. At first I felt so boring because I got nothing to do and the worst thing is that my friends were all not with me. But after having a simple breakfast with my parents I felt a sense of calmness in my heart as if the thing that I long lost was back again. Suddenly, I realized that “Home” has such an irreplaceable position in my heart. A simple breakfast with my family can be such a lovely and pleasant thing to do.
I am very lucky that I have a happy family, though I don’t have a wealthy family and I don’t have a large mansion to dwell in but I am still very grateful for what I have. The best part is that while it took most of my friends four or five hours to go home, it only took me one. I can’t wait for this weekend to come, for I am going home again.
question: why does it only take an hour for u to go home?? u live in taipei, duncha?
回覆刪除now u understand why i go back to tainan every weekend(sometimes even during the weekdays). no exceptions ever! well, i hav to say that no matter what ur home is like, it is still ur home. u will never feel the same as living in a rented room(or dorm), no matter how fancy u decorate it, as staying at home.

Hi, i got your comments on my blog~It's really a pleasure that you like my blog and my bike.
回覆刪除I love the title you put on of this post so much, because it exactly explains how i feel toward the college life in past 2 years. Home might be a common place that everyone wants to escape from once, but it turns to be the place that everyone needs after leaving home. I can't go home frequently now because of the stupid rehearsals of grand drama this semester, and this post just hit my feeling!! T__T I miss my family so much as well~
When I go home, I always imagine that the time would stop, and I don't have to go back to school. Sometimes I even imagine that I studying in Taipei. However, they are just imaginations. Recently, I found out that calling home or writing a letter home is a good way to ease the missings.Sometimes I would write in the midnight.^^
回覆刪除um, though i don't miss home that much as u do, i do agree that there's NO PLACE ELSE LIKE HOME. the tranquility always makes me believe i'm enjoying a trip whenever i go back to Nantou. u see, u don't have to leave home to look for the sense of travel. just simply staying at home gives me the same feeling!
回覆刪除oh~ I completely agree with you. Staying at home used to be torture to me because I couldn't do whatever I want. My parents always ask me to take their opinions just for my own good, which drives me crazy.
回覆刪除I had been expecting the tme of leaving home and mastering my life. but now, I think of going home every day.
