Homesick

It might just be that my wife and I are in job funks, but we really want to go back to what we know. Where we're from. Where we started our family. Where our family currently lives.

I hope that it's more than just us being unhappy with our jobs. Because I've never thought that my job made me the person I am. I also know that we've met some wonderful people out here that have transformed our lives.

But it's not quite the same. I don't understand the driving or public planning out here. I'm at a loss to describe the schooling system (see related post). While it's a blue state, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to living in an open carry state. Still bothers me when I see a handgun at the grocery store....

Not to worry, we're not planning anything drastic anytime soon. But if an opportunity presents itself, I don't think we'd mind heading back.

  1. :/ We both feel pretty homesick too. There's plenty here that we're not happy about, but could consider dealing with and being unhappy with the job certainly adds to that.

    1. Sorry you're homesick. :(

      It really sucks. Especially when a less than stellar job situation creeps in. Here's hoping it'll pass or improve or resolve itself (hello dream job in hometown...)

    1. I hear ya. And I apologize if it's not appropriate, but I'm a hugger...

  3. I was fortunate enough to land a job in our home state! While it is nice to be back home, it is actually equidistant from both of our parents (and not 10 minutes, we are talking 3 hours). Thus, we don't really feel the benefits of being home, where we are surrounded by family (which is both a blessing and a curse). We still get homesick sometimes and long to be closer to family, but then they go and do something that drives us crazy and we are thankful for the distance between us and them!
