I'm not going to lie - I miss home. I miss the food especially, the clubbing district, and doing something everyday with my friends or either one of my parents. It seems that everybody I know is going to go back to Hong Kong this winter holiday, leave their university lives in Canada, the US and the UK, and go back to my home city for Christmas and New Year's break.
My return flight to Hong Kong is scheduled for July 10th, and although that is a long while away from today, I look at it in the following way.
The anticipation of my return had been building up, and will continue building up, and the longer I'm away from home, the more excited I get to actually go back, I look forward to going home, but I'm not moaning about it, asking God why it's not happening sooner. I know the truth is that I'm staying here, I've accepted it, I'm not letting it bother me, and I'm looking at it in a positive way.
I've discovered that I've grown up a lot since four or five years ago. I like the way in which I approach relationships, schoolwork, life, the social scene, and tough decisions when they arise. In a way, I'm not troubled by anything, I'm not worried and I'm confident in the way I handle things. I don't need reassurance from others, I don't need to depend on anyone else to keep me elevated. I elevate myself to a psychological, emotional state that is comfortable, complacent, and content.
Feels good, like nobody can touch me. Hah.

Thanks for your comment on Apollyon. It's funny about homesickness; the food is always especially missed...
If this is your first year away from home, it's a good thing you're not going back the moment you get a holiday. Now you'll get to experience new things and spend Christmas in a different way. I think you'll feel even better about yourself. (:
"Feels good, like nobody can touch me." -- That's exactly how I feel when I'm away from the Apple guy I talked about in my last post.

Logan: I cry over the food and only the food. It is sad. :(
Kimmy: I know I will feel good. I'm very confident in all of my decisions, and although I left home, I said that even though it's hard, it's the direction I want to go in.
Chuwie: I wasn't aware I was coming off sad...
