Hang in there hun. The feeling does ease over time. I still get homesick even though none of my family lives in that area anymore. I miss the beach, the water, the taste of the air. I'm landlocked now, so rivers and lakes have to do.
I soo understand about the pollution too. I lived south of Los Angeles growing up. The air was so bad at that time the sky would have like a rust color to it. If you went to the mountains and looked down at the city there was a brown haze. It was gross. There were days so bad that when it came time for recess we weren't allowed to go outside.
You have found wonderful activities. All the Lemon pictures, such a silly cat and your pictures are really enjoyable.
Thank you my dear @tryskele 😊 I've been at this stage of sickness at least twice a year 😁 on Eid and my lil brother birthday (october 5th) and really miss the clear blue sky and the beach so much. Few weeks ago, my hometown was coverage by smoke from the forest fire at other province and I read a lot of status on facebook how they are all afraid of dooms day😂😂 even though it did happened at least once every 5 years.
I can survive as long as I can go to any bridges with rivers and waterfall around. I couldn't see the stars.. but the moon is still there too, sometimes it is more beautiful than at my hometown. Thanks God, I have quite nice camera in this old phone so I can capture many interesting things around to create stories about it.
As an Achenese, as long as we have the spesific ingredients of our traditional foods/recipes... any type of homesickness can be cure too. I have it all here in my neighborhood😊 except the coffee bean.
And my silly Lemon😂😂😂 He asked for the roots again this afternoon but I just ignore him and he went out to play by himself.
