2020-08-10 Homesickness It has been 3 years since I start to live here. For the last 2 years, I hardly feel homesick such as missing friends, siblings, or even my home country foods. Looking back past 2 years, it was so hectic that I could not think of anything except for getting used to living in a foreign country. However, it seemed to turn out from the beginning of this year when I was laid-off on March because of the outbreak of COVID-19. All of sudden, I could have a lot of time to do what I want freely. The first thing I remember is that I tried to do something that I have always wanted to do. I mainly spent my time playing computer games and watching movies. I felt like I was in heaven and had really fun at first. Nothing bothered me at that time: there was enough subsidy from the government and given the situation, I don’t think I could find another job. But ironically, it wasn't anyone but me who interrupt myself as time goes on. It was beginning with loneliness and stuffiness, feeling the futility of life, and even homesickness. These days, I often dream of my hometown. Gathering all my family members eating home-made foods together or hanging out with my old friends. For the first time ever, I felt this is what they call a homesickness.
