Home Sweet Home!

After three months, I finally got home!

These past few months, I have been engulfed by too much stress because of academic matters. Since I am on my fourth year right now, I thought a lot about finishing my thesis on time, passing all my major subjects without taking any removal exam and even end this semester with good grades. Thus, this semester is a crucial stage. It even made me wide awake, sometimes.

And so I thought, "I need a rest!"

This week is the last week for the Lenten Season. It is Holy Week. For us students, it is also a time to break away from all the school works. Thus, most of the students are going home; I was also planning to go home.

No, I am coming home!

While riding on a bus, I was staring blankly outside the window--looking at the towering trees dancing with the gentle breeze. For a moment, I had the chance to gaze my eyes on the beautiful scenery before I close them and put myself into sleep. Even just for a moment, I feel at ease.

But I even feel more at ease the moment I got home and saw my family. It was like I was revved up. I felt the warmth of comfort as everyone was still awake. I assumed they were waiting for me though. Nevertheless, all I could remember last night was a vivid picture of a girl walking on a cloud nine; she felt at peace!

In that very moment, the words I never imagined I would be able to utter suddenly came out from my mouth.

"I am home!"

Even though traveling is an arduous work for me because I am a person with motion sickness but thinking about getting home makes me brush away the thought of dizziness and even shut my eyes to any feeling of discomfort. Because I know that I am going to a place where love, appreciation, and security can be found.

Indeed, there is nothing like home that offers real comfort. There is no place like home!
