Missing Home

So this week is Thanksgiving week and everybody is getting ready to go home. everybody but me that is. you see, i live in the southern part of California and i go to school in Virginia so im a good parts away from home. Now with this there are two things that are upsetting me that i hear people or my friends say around me that i need to express and talk about....
1.) "I cant wait to go home! I cant stand this place anymore!!! I couldnt concentrate this whole time being away, i dont know what ill do if i didnt go home!!": look, i understand what they are talking about, no one doesnt want to be away from their families on Thanksgiving day or any holiday in that matter. But if you talk to people that dont and cant get that opportunity to go home cause of distance and fiancial reasons, they will tell you like im about to say now, its not going to be the end of the world cause you cant go home! Now if it was Christmas im with you 100%, but thanksgiving, NO! i mean after thanksgiving break is over, you have less than 2 weeks of school and you goin back home. so shut the eff up and move on.... speaking of which moving on to the 2nd and most irritating one
2.) "you dont understand, you dont know how i feel, you just say that cause you dont even like your home nor your family, you can go home if you want but you just dont want to and you're trying to make us feel bad for you...": hahahahaha LOL... let me tell you what i have to say about this one. in fact, i have a couple of things that i want to say...
one; you want me to be honest, aight. I DO HATE MY STATE WITH A PASSION ACTUALLY AND I DONT HAVE A LOT OF LOVE FOR MY FAMILY!!! so what you want to say now? do i get a prize? but it doesnt mean that i miss HOME and my PARENTS!!! i seperate my parents from my family, two different catagories and i miss the house in which i lived in before i came to Hampton, it just so happens to be in California..... get it straight...
two; yeah i dont know how you feel, but i never did say that i did in the 1st place. so you putting words in my mouth. put it back in yours. and while im on this, let me put it out there... you dont know how I feel... cause if you did, you would want to quit college....
three; why on earth would i want you to feel bad? im just trying to prove a point that its not the end of the world if you cant see your family for 3 DAYS!!!!!! you can wait 2 weeks with that extra one on the side...
Now since i said what i had to say, let me say that i am NOT singling anyone out with my comments, ive been hearing this for over a week now from friends and others who start the conversation....
In my case, i can only go home ONCE maybe TWICE counting summer.... A YEAR!!!! so for the rest of the year, i only hear their voices..... But i dont trip, cause i know im going to see them over Christmas break. but yes its also true that i do miss them and seeing all my friends leave and im going to be the ONLY one here, yeah i WISH i could go back home, but paying almost $300 for 3 days is a waste of money and money does not come easy in my family, to be honest its a BLESSING they can afford me to go to school here!! but im not going to complain about it. cause to be honest, i might not spend thanksgiving with ANYBODY!!! cause ima be stuck in the house with no car and no one to come get me.... but if i do spend it with someone, then thats a true blessing, if not, hey at least i can call and hear my parents voice waiting for DECEMBER to roll out!!! :)
So word of advice, dont make it seem like your life was going to be over or that you couldnt stand another day here and just keep complaining about it. think about the people who dont have that opportunity and have to go through it.... dont make it worse by 1st bragging about it and then complaining about what they have to experience.....
cause it makes them feel worse..... trust me....
and again this is not a "rain all over your parade thing", this is a think of others who dont have the opportunity that you have.....
Even though one of my pedals are growing, the other one is sadly welting away
