It’s a big Sunday of football today/right now

I miss my brother. I would ALWAYS watch the football with him. It used to one of our things. When we didn’t go to Old Trafford to watch United we’d always take over the living room and watch the games.

Today it’s Man City v Spurs (happening right now - 0-0 at half time) and then it’s the big one, Arsenal v Man Utd.

I want the first game to be a Spurs victory or a draw and for Man Utd to win, of course.

We’ll see how it plays out. I love these big game days.

I’m thinking of you, bro! Soon we’ll be watching the games together again!

"You miss a person the most when you have something to share with them, to tell them, but you can’t. That’s the hardest kind of missing because all others are just remembrance or cherishing memories etc. This kind of missing is helpless."

— Paraphrase of something someone once told me.

I’m “home”sick

Today’s been really tough. It’s been an emotionally brutal day. I’ve just been going through the day in zombie mode and just thinking about everything.

I’ve been missing moments and things and… yeah. Some made me sad and others made me smile and the ones that made me smile made me feel even worse.

This is all so hard.

I talked to my sister for a while and that distracted me a bit but not really. Ibby ‘talked’ to me for ages and that was incredibly cute. He’s growing up so fast and is at that incredibly cute phase kids go through before they turn in to monsters.

I’m going to try to distract myself by going to the mall with my house mate and then for a three hour walk like yesterday.

7.  A photo of someone you love.
This is one of the easiest  pictures to chose for this blog. I hesitated for a moment and was going to pick my niece but then I decided to use a picture of my brother instead. He’s my favourite person in the world and that’s for a million and one reasons. Sure, we have some differences - I like cool things and he’s boring - but we have way more things in common. It’s not just that though. I trust him with my life and can’t imagine what things would be like if he wasn’t there to support me when I needed it the most. At times I think that I haven’t been able to be there for him the way he has for me but, hopefully, that is starting to change, even though I’m 4000 miles away. I miss him everyday.

Missing home…

There was always going to be a point where I was going to miss something about home and today was that day. It’s a weird feeling and I think it’s the type of thing can needs the smallest catalyst to take root. It’s gotten me thinking about how different things are here as well as the people around me.
