When I first got back to the island of my birth, I wondered if I'll ever start to feel like it was home again. Why shouldn't I right? I have my family and friends here. Yeah it didn't feel like home anymore. Although many of the sites remained the same from the last time I was here, the people I knew have grown and changed. I'm not saying it is a bad thing, I'm just saying that I'm having to get to know them again.
I didn't quite feel like home just yet and I felt quite alone. I got so used to being in the Seattle area with my family and friends up there, that I felt out of place here. I tried to play soccer here, but the level of play is much more different than I'm used to. I have yet to drive around the island to enjoy the beauty of it. I guess I was looking for a connection with a few people. Something that will make me feel more at home.
Well I guess I found them. This past weekend I met some pretty awesome people that I can say I've made a connection with. It's so amazing to make new friends that you can make a connection with. I don't feel so alone anymore. It's a great feeling. I'm sure people who have moved around a lot can understand how I feel. They remind me of my friends back in the states. They are fun free loving people and that's just how I like 'em.
