I know I’m not supposed to be complaining about this, because.

I think the best thing about going on exchange with your best friend is that, you know he/she will be the constant when you return to normalcy. Also probably the fact that you’ll never feel lonely here in Mexico. Or at least that’s what I thought. 

Let’s just say it’s a letdown to say the least and right now I somehow feel lonelier than ever? For all the times I’ve been preaching about how best friends need to be completely honest with each other. I haven’t broached this issue yet. And I don’t plan to. Because I don’t want to be there to spoil the fun for her. 

Seriously, we don’t even talk anymore. And all she does is hole up in her room with him, every, single, day. Now we can’t even manage a conversation unless it’s in class or on whatsapp. Or maybe Facebook chat. That’s pathetic. Sometimes I want to tell her how much I miss home, or hey come watch Florence with me on Coachella Live because we’re supposed to go there together (or have you forgotten?) but all I get is a hostile “what?” through her cold door. Fantastic. This room of mine is very comfortable, but it is also my only solace in this foreign place. Sometimes I even feel intrusive when I’m in my own living room. So yes, we’ll talk when we’re back in Singapore.

Exchange is wicked, no doubt, but it’s time like these I miss home so much. Just cried like a baby to my friend on Skype who offered to pick me up from the airport if I return home now 

This epiphany came a little late but: I can be whoever I want to be.
