This weekend, a friend was visiting from Kuwait. Although he was here for 2 days, it seemed like a long time. We had so much fun. We laughed on silly tiny things. Yesterday and while he was waiting for his ride to go to the airport I had that feeling again. Hmmm I can’t really describe the feeling; however I know I felt it before many, many times. It just has been a long time since I felt it. I remember feeling this way while I was getting my degree in the states. Whenever someone comes and visits for the weekend, we have all the fun, but then he/she leaves and I end up all alone. Or when my friends and I get together and went away on vacations. I particularly remember feeling so bad when I am on the plane heading back home, or while driving my friends to the airport after their visit. I really hated the feeling I got when I was on the flight leaving from Kuwait going to the US after spending few weeks surrounded by family and friends. So what is it that makes me sad? Is it the loneliness? Or is it the feeling of missing someone that is so dear to you? Maybe it is just realizing that happy moments never last. I guess it is a combination of all sorts of feelings. It is a very annoying feeling that makes me want to scream. Ok. Ok, not really scream. Just sleep all day and not think of anything. Actually, as I was walking to work this morning, I realized that I am starting to appreciate this annoying feeling. It reminded me of how much I love my family and friends and that I always want to be around them. Friends and family; I love you!
