"When I was young I couldn't wait to leave home
and then I went away to make the world my home.
In England a poet's wife suggested a word for what I felt,
“heimweh.” German for homesickness even when you're home"
"Ghazal" - Michael Collier
There's something about reading poetry and listening to classical music that is such a wonderful experience. I've just discovered this.
I'm reading poetry assigned for my creative writing class -- a class I both dread and look forward to. Its definitely the type of people you'd expect in a creative writing class -- people who never leave their laptops because they're writing so much fanfiction?? Also, there's a professional psychic who's writing a historical fiction trilogy on Atlantis. Yeah.
I feel like I don't know how to relax, really. I'm so busy and I'm accomplishing so much that when I finally come home from class and work at the end of the day, I feel wound up. Perhaps its because of the afternoon coffee I treated myself to today.
I need to sort out the compartments of my mind, but the classical is making me sleepy. Another busy day tomorrow. But I feel like I don't know how to have real conversations anymore. Maybe I'm just lonely. I'm always lonely.
I've really missed journaling.
