I am missing my friends back home, and all over the states, and my family this week.

It is hard, being away from the people who are familiar, and trying to start somewhere else. We don't really have friends outside of our little household, and we rarely do anything with anyone but ourselves...

And then to top it off, we have the occasional misunderstanding between ourselves, and I find myself overwhelmed with emotions and frustration at myself for not being able to deal with them.

Last night, after resolving an emotional conflict I felt drained of energy, and ended up going to bed early, only to dream vividly all night about love ones who have passed on and situations which I find just as stressful as those I was dealing with yesterday while I was awake.

It drains me.
