Nostalgia
I've officially been back home from England 2 months ago last Thursday. By this time, I would have imagined to be completely back in my old life but I'm not at all. Most students get the nostalgic emotions 2-3 weeks after coming back home but I seem to have been on a high of happiness from being back home extra long. I didn't seem to be missing my life in England more than that. Obviously I missed it but not as much as I thought I would. That was until a couple of days ago. Every single emotion of nostalgia has been going through me. I am missing everything about my life in England. My friends, my school, my host sister, my host parents and just the country in general. Life at home with my parents is just the same and were happy. My brother and I also seem to be closer now than we were before I left. The thing that changed the most is my relationship with all my friends. While I was having the time of my life in England, all of my friends stayed in Canada in their normal lives so it makes sense for them to not have changed in 5 months but they seem to be forgetting that I was completely alone in a brand new country with brand new people by my side for those 5 months and let me tell you, it changes you completely!! I didn't think it changed me much at first but as time go by, I see that no one else has changed other than me. When I came back, my friends were all saying everything was like before and at the beginning I agreed because I didn't think things would be different. But since I'm completely back in my old life, I'm not on that high anymore and the changes I've been through are starting to show and Im starting to feel different. It's as if you grow up and become this completely new changes person while everyone else just stays at the same level. Not only that but I am starting school in exactly two weeks and I am but am not happy to go back. School will never be the same. I know that the moment classes start, the nostalgic feelings will come rushing back. I'll want to be in my wonderful school in England with my amazing friends. I'll want my free lessons in the common room again or going to the shops with friends during our frees even if we weren't allowed. Everything I do in my old school will somehow remind me of my English school. I know it'll take a while for these feelings to go away but the least I can hope for is that it isn't that painful
