Living away from family.

i am studying in a university so i have to leave home. i am away for almost 4 years already and i havent been home ever since i left. i want to go home but i dont have funds yet. besides, i dont want to go home unless i will be a professional already.

Loneliness is the word which I think will not be liked by anybody. Its a very difficult thing. Going away from family,staying far away is a curse. We can opt for loneliness for a day or two but for years together very difficult. I see lot of my friends stay away from family for more than 15 to 20 years. I really feel sorry for them. For them getting adjusted to loneliness and then getting back to families is very difficult. I really pity them.

I lived in boarding school since I was 14, and after that most of the time I spent in school except holidays. I think live alone is ok with me. Being alone, I can have plenty of time to read boooks.

I only had experienced being away for 6 months from my family and for the first few weeks it was really killing me that i had missed my son's growing up and his development since he was just a year old then. Although we talked on the phone every day, it was really difficult, but my friends helped out by diverting my attention. And sometimes I would just console myself by thinking that what i'm doing is for our future and we will be together soon anyway.

Hi kqara0! I have been away from my family for over a year now and I must admit, I miss them terribly, not just my family but also my friends. I do keep in touch with them at least every day but still it's different if you can actually see them when you're talking to them in person. In my first few months, I didn't feel any "home sickness" syndrome as what they call it. I just chat with them, say hi and how are things going back home and that was it. This year, because things and circumstances changed, I miss them more than ever. And I know I've made a few friends here and there but there will never be a match or a replacement for my family and trusted friends back home. I think it's just a matter of trying to overcome this feeling of loneliness and home sickness. And to take time to set a particular holiday vacation to see them again, which I'm looking forward to, hopefully by the end of this year. :)

I have had lived away from my family for ten days to take a little job. It was really hard for me not to think about my husband and kids, but my job and friend make me fine. Sharing together with friends about our families will make us more pleasant.
