take me home to the place i belong

Homesickness is a funny thing. It pounces when you least expect it. You can be fine for weeks and months and then something small can set everything inside you awry. Last night I heard the song "Country Roads" by John Denver and it sparked something inside me.

"country road take me home/
to the place I belong."

It's only too easy to realize that I don't belong here. Every day its a struggle to do some of the simplest things: order food from a restaurant, find something in the grocery store.
This particular spurt of homesickness will pass soon. I'm sure. Only to be replaced by a bout of wanderlust. What a terrible cycle, eh? It's my eternal curse.
