Years ago I traveled to Italy. I did a full tour around the country and everything and for some reason I just wanted to go back home.
I remember spending the entire time talking to my family, worrying about what was going on and when I was going home. Before boarding the flight back, I was gagging out of nervousness because of the thought that I'd be stuck there.
Years later I'm looking back and I'm so mad at myself because why couldn't I have just enjoyed the trip like a normal person.

I've been back to my hometown, Messina (Sicily).
Not such big deal since is still literally the same as long as I remember (but isn't it the story of all hometowns?).
Christmas holidays in the end were a bit up and down since life brought me in different places both physically and mentally, but that's life

I used to spend every night sitting outside looking up into the night sky trying to find constellations. I used to be so obsessed that I got my Mom to take me to a viewing conservatory with a giant telescope every week so I could see Mars in 4K. When that wasn't enough my mom got me a million and one books on constellations, moons and stars, and how to identify them along with a shiny new high tech telescope.
I haven't used a lot of that stuff in years after we moved unfortunately. I learned very quickly that light pollution is a big issue once you move away from the trailer parks and into the suburbs, and any chance at seeing stars is squashed under someone's giganormous TV shining brighter than a Ford F150's headlights. Straight up archangel Michael coming to take me away during the rapture kind of brightness that these people are using.
However I am nothing if not stubborn! I will find a way to use that big ol' telescope I have and I swear I'm gonna find every constellation, star and planet that passes overhead if it's the last thing I do!

Sometimes just looking up and taking in your surroundings makes you feel so real and human.
Something about seeing what your fellow man has created is really inspiring and gives you a cheery buzz of life.
