I'm just SO TIRED OF MOVING! I could barely bring myself to pack up my toothbrush it has been sitting in the same orange mug for months now and I need to move it? my shampoo is now zipped away in a plastic baggy and my hair ties strangle my brush all that remains are my pyjamas and tomorrow's clothes. How quickly it all can change one day I was settling in, welcomed by a hug and one day I was only, eating dinner with you, made vegetarian for me and one day I was alone at home and it was all okay and now I need to move? I hope you wish I could stay as much as I want to I hope you think about me at dinner where there is no plate or cup I hope when you walk past my door you get a bittersweet smile and you think about me for a few seconds of time I now I will think about you each time they do something slightly off a little too different than you would and I WANT TO GO HOME I've been gone for far too long (!) but that would mean I need to PACK IT ALL UP and GET ON A PLANE and it's just a little while longer hold on sweetie, hold on
