Home

It's always strange when I'm coming home after a while during breaks. Things seem different than I remember. Everything seem a bit more run down. The paint seems to be a bit dull and the switches seem a bit dirtier. There's new bits and bobs here and there I don't seem to recognize. There are cracks here and there on the wall where there were none before. My parent's seem a bit more tired, their age seem to be slowly catching up to them. It's this weird sort of sinking feeling but funny enough everything goes away the moment I start talking. There's always this moment for me, I'll be there in the kitchen with my parents telling stories and mainly just joking around. At that moment I think "Ah, I'm home now. No wonder everything seemed brighter in my head". Even though the changes get to me at times, I'm glad that I'm here.

Thank you for reading.
