Your Open Question: Feeling super down about coming back from my vacation…please help.?
A week ago I went to stay with my brother and his wife for a week in Seattle, Washington. My brother is like 18 years older than me, I’m 14, and so we are close but not super close. I hardly ever get to see them (I mean once every 3 years or more) so I was really looking forward to this trip. After getting there, everything was amazing. It couldn’t have gone better. I got closer to my brother than ever before, got to know his wife, and got a grand tour of Seattle. I loved everything so much, I want to move to Seattle when I grow up. It was the best vacation I ever had in my life, and I was beginning to actually get into the niche of life at his house. Well, today I flew back to hot old Texas and just got home. I am so depressed and sad, I tear up every minute. I miss everything, and it makes it so hard to know I won’t see them for a long time, and we never keep in touch much. I have jet lag too, which makes everything worse. I just can’t stop thinking about how I had a wonderful time and how much I miss my brother and stuff. So, any tips? Is this normal?
you are used to life in texas and a change of scenery is what you needed and when taken away from it and knowing you wont go back in a long time hurts. my suggestion? do new fun things. you need to do fun things and that trip helped you realize it.
You may not like to admit it, but what you might be feeling is jealousy and that’s perfectly fine. If you just want to be able to stay in touch with him, call him. If he has a laptop that has skype, you should try to get a laptop too with it. You can video chat with him then.
