I did a lot of thinking today.
I miss home,I miss Africa..a lot.
I still remember today when I found out we were moving to America, I was totally crushed.I know my parents just wanted the best for us kids and for our future, but living in the same place for 9 years, having the same best friend for as long as you can remember and then suddenly with the drop of a hat everything is gone.The life I lived,the awesome friends,the beautiful country,everything about it,my family.
It totally sucks.My aunt and uncle and cousins I grew up with..all gone.
I think it's funny how some people dont really care about seeing family and all the jazz but honestly when you leave, and actually move away then it might hit you.
I have been in America almost 3 years (on November 8th it will be 3 years...yes we moved on my 16th birthday) and honestly I still cannot call this place home.I'm still not used to all the american ways yet,and I find out something new everyday about living here.
And I find it quite amusing when people say they know how I feel...hmmm...I'm not so sure about that.
I hate not being able to call my best friend of 9 years for advice,not being able to see her whenever I want,I miss the bbq's, the fizzers,the simba chips,I miss it all.
Oh well I guess.
It's for the best..I guess time will tell.
