I live in Boston with my wonderful boyfriend. But I'm from the South and I miss it so much. The people, the places, the way things are done, etc.
I get especially homesick because I have a bad habit of trying to make everyone happy and then I end up unhappy. For instance, we're going camping tomorrow, but even FURTHER north, and the people we're going with do everything so differently from how I grew up. So I've been trying to act happy and excited but now I'm dreading it. I didn't grow up eating fried rice or drinking alcohol on camping trips and now I'm really missing how I grew up.
This isn't the only thing that makes me homesick. I miss the food, the friendly attitude, everything.
I adore my boyfriend and don't want him to think i'm unhappy here- I'm not unhappy, just homesick. I also don't want to bring him down with me. He'd do anything in his power to make me happy but we can't move because his very specialized job is only in this area. What can I do to cope on my own?
