I’ve been homesick for my hometown recently. Whether it is my mums cooking, my sisters, the easy access to beach and the chill. Hindsight, growing pains I’m nostalgic for, etc. etc.
The Waifs, a band from Western Australian where I’m from, captures this melancholy for wanting home but also knowing you cannot actually go back. It’s missing what you never had. You’re homesick for being a staple in someone’s life.
I wonder what I'm missing
I think of songs I've never heard
Yeah :) excited for Christmas at home lowkey

It was as if all the yearning I had cultivated over the years, spending it hundred, and eventually thousands, of miles away from my family had finally subsided. I was sad that Christmas was spent away. I am looking forward to spending it in a new way I do feel a pang of guilt for this feeling tho. As if my body knows what is expected and feels shame for not feeling what one should feel. I miss them of course I do but I also feel happy with the distance. Are those things mutually exclusive?

People you haven’t seen in years, wounds healed by time, affordable food and drink, family, watching TV.
If you’re as lucky as me there‘ll be seaside and countryside too. Maybe it wasn’t about the destination, but the friends we made along the way?

travelling to see family is delightful, but it’s been 3 years since ive had an australian xmas and i am sorely in need of one. my sister will be coming down & we’ll have an enormous late lunch in the big blue house in the summer heat & play lots of music together.
i’m hoping to spend new years with my friends & midnight kiss my lover & go for a midnight ocean swim & let out a midnight holler over the dark waves
