It sucks doesn’t it? Living in a city far away from the one you’ve spent all your life in. You never realise how much you’ll miss familiar surroundings until its gone. I’ve been away from my hometown for just over a year. Can’t wait for the day I return.
Anyone else living away from a place they spent most of their life due to work etc?..
14 years.. but that is not qaid e ba-mushaqqat. In between, I do visit hometown on Eids, etc. It was difficult in earlier years, but when you settle down in your careers, then it doesn’t matter much.
That’s nice and that’s along time. I can’t see myself being away from London that long. I’d rather quit and go back home although I do visit it a few times a month, it just isn’t the same.
Nah, not right now but my first experience was living on campus. Missed homemade cooking. The sylvan scenery. My mother’s repetitive entries into my room without knocking. The cuddly feeling of my room. And so much more.
It’s tough and definitely takes some getting used to.
