homesick doesnt always mean you have to miss a place that you once lived, for any amount of time. In my eyes, I think home is a term that people more often use to describe a particular environment, people, or state of mind that they were once in or around. I don't miss texas a whole lot. I have spent a good amount of time and energy since I was 18 tryig to find a way to explore the rest of the US for a possible place I could comfortably settle in and call home.
God knows if I had the opportunity to travel overseas I would have given that a shot too, so who knows where I might wind up in the future should the ability and circumstance for that adventure present titself. But as I walk through life as I have, I am forced to come to the realization that "home" is more defined by how I described it earlier. My girlfriend Becca is home to me. James and Kelly are home to me. These are people that inspire me to be better person and therefore in ANY environment surrounding us, should we find each other all sitting in a room together, I would be quick and willing to call that place home.
James and Kelly called me yesterday. Probably the first time I had talked to them in a few years. It was like going home. God I miss them so much. When Becca called me at work the other day, to ask who James Crocker was on the caller ID, my heart rose and fell all at the same time. I was so elated just at the thought of talking to him and Kelly, to see how they were doing. But then my heart fell for I feared the reason he was getting in touch might have been that someone close to us was hurt, or worse, and I needed to be notified.
James and Kelly are like a superhero couple to me. They form like Voltron to fight for truth, justice, and great cups of coffee. I hope I can witness and be a guest player in some of thier adventures soon. Maybe we can even start our own little "Justice Leauge". I'd even be willing to play gleek, the monkey.
