3000 Miles Away

If I could go back for the weekend

Or just for a day

To see familiar faces, that's all it would take

But it's too far

-Emblem, 3000 miles

More than 3000 miles away, I'm currently not okay. Even though WhatsApp, Imo and Skype may connect us, but still, I'm longing to see each and every one of 'em. I can recall lots of fighting with my siblings when we were kids. Arguing becomes our daily routine every time we were at dining table. Since we've separated apart, coming home is the most meaningful moment happened in my life. Leaving the house for study purposes may have distant me apart from my family, but I believe, coming back to home will glue us back stronger than ever. True enough to say, distance makes our heart grow fonder. I even miss my sister for going back to Mansoura, in fact, we're studying in the same country. Is this how you feel when growing up? No more argument over stupid little things, pulling each other's hair for being too annoyed and staring each other with full of hatred. I can say, distance brings lots of love. I constantly checking over Mum by calling her every morning. Just to say a single hello and bid her goodbye by saying 'I love you'. Cheesy enough? I even call Dad, asking him to not forget to eat and rest well. These stuff might seem simple, but who knows, they might be expecting much from us. And dad, of course, I need to check on him to bank in some money for my expenses. Well, that's how the life of a student living abroad. I don't have any source of money except from Dad.

Those three soldiers of mine at home must've grown up so fast. The part where I hope it would go slowly, for me, to able to watch them growing up. A day won't pass in gloomy with their existence at home. Home is truly where my heart is. No matter how boisterous they are, they always made my day. I used to scold them a lot for not listening me, until the day I had to go, I realize, I need to embrace every single moment with them. Got a long list of to-do-list with those fellas when I got home. Wait for me, I won't be long here. Just four years left. I will stay here for now, stay strong. Stay motivated as a dental student.
