When u're homesick but don't know where home is

         

        The last month of this year is beginning, and everyone plans to return home or on holiday with their friends when the college season ends because our college will be over before the new year. Meanwhile, I started to confuse myself, am I going back home or I stay here in Bandung?. 

        Unfortunately, After all the happiness and breakdown in my college life, I have to go through this phase when the semester break begins. Sometimes I wonder how the feeling of real homesickness is? as my friends felt. Cuz when I felt homesick, I just miss the ocean, sunset, morning vibes, tropical fruits, and seafood. Sometimes I miss the people too, I miss how we talk and make a joke but that's a moment that rarely happens. While I wondered if I went home, what would be the point of contention?.

        When I start to miss the ocean, I just think that I need to go somewhere that I never visited. That's why I wanna travel. So I always have a destination when I feel homesick again. Unfortunately, I'm the daughter who always finds peace whenever I'm away from home. But, fortunately, I have friends that I can rely on when I feel homesick, I can go with them to their homes, so right now I am confused about where's the home that I will visit? Hahaha kocak... But, I'm not joking, After I went to Subang and Cinunuk where's the city that I need to visit? Sukabumi, Kudus, Pati or go to my in-laws' house in Korea? Hahaha please don't be serious. 

        Besides that, I learned something from traveling or going to my friend's home, that is about the kindness and warmth given by the people I met. That makes me realize that the world is not that bad, and there are people who still caring and kind. Talking with new people from different places gives me more new perspective about life.

To conclude this journal, I will give you my favorite line from the Book Pulang Pergi.
