To have a heart that isn’t filled with so much pain.
To have anyone understand my soul. I accept, this is not going to happen.
It isn’t reality. Painful. But, I need to accept it.
The homesick part, is because I have never had a home, where I am understood, where I belong.
I don’t feel like I belong anywhere, never have. I don’t ‘belong’ in this society I live in. I think it is partly self abandoning, which I read about in Pete Walkers book.

My boys love this and it will help my deal with my failure today of not staying to see my son in his parade, resulting in feeling so low. My son told me at school pick up, he didn’t even know whether I was there or not. So I told him I stayed for a little bit, but then felt unwell and had to go. And he was totally okay about that, skipping along next me, happily chattering away, as he does in his very cute and charming 5 year old way.
