Missing Home? Here's How To Cope

 


Homesickness is a real & valid feeling. We move on; either by force or by choice. In my case, it was by force. This is a photo of my childhood home; my best friend, my freedom, my foundation. In the most recent days, I found myself longing for home and becoming homesick.

While I may not be able to go back home, I can rely on things that remind me of home. (You can view that YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n661O_HfFB4&ab_channel=TiffanyA.Riley-Dameron). 

If you are feeling homesick, here's what you can do:
Gather things that remind you of your home. This could be wind chimes, little decor stuff, and even simple foods. 

Journal. Writing is a good way to talk about your home. How did it feel? What was the environment like? You can write poetry, a book or even a short story!

Talk. Being homesick is normal, however, talking with a professional is recommended, especially to help you get through the feelings of loneliness. 

You are not alone & these feelings will pass.

Upon my late father's passing, I decided to visit my childhood home and it was there where she began to speak to me.  As she spoke, words were written in a blank, lined notebook and a pen. She told me most of what had happened. As I wrote what she spoke, things started to become clear to me...what had happened to me also had happened to her. Here is the synopsis of this book: Most of her life, Abigail was defined by a number: 212, a house. A money making thing. Now after reuniting with her best friend and 10 year medic, she's finally ready to tell all. This is her story. Welcome. Let me take you....beyond the shadows.  Pre ord...

  Disclaimer: I bought this item with my own money. I am NOT an affiliate with Rare Beauty.  You can purchase this item here:  https://www.rarebeauty.com/products/find-comfort-hydrating-hand-cream  Let me just start by saying this packaging is so cute! I love it fits in the palm of your hand! It's also accessible, meaning that it's easy to use. Although I had a bit of trouble opening it, the texture and scent was amazing. It wasn't sticky, greasy or strong.  This item gave a really sweet comforting smell. Not to mention it also relaxes you too! This makes my hands very soft and smooth. It's a tad bit hard to open and you have to squeeze the product out. However, the tip makes a good massager for your hands.  I give this a 8/10.
