As I come back

Again I cried. I'm going to miss my cousins. I really loved hanging out with them, I felt at home.

When Omar gave me the second hug because I gave him the cologne I felt my eyes start to water. I held them back. When my grandma was giving us el reso y su bendición I let some tears out. When Andres gave me the second hug, I was tearing up. On the plane when I turned on my phone to listen to music "Coming Home" made me start to cry. I honestly would love to stay here and go to school here, I'd be closer to my family.

But is that me being a home body? Should I go to school away from home to learn to take care of myself? Being in Mecca or La Rivera, I won't grow up and take care of myself. I need to leave home but is my home Mecca? Or just wherever I am with my parents?

Home. It's wherever I'm being taken care of and have things handed to me. La Rivera with my aunts and Mecca with my mom.
