Subject: Thinking about home

On May 5th of this year, it was my brother's 19th birthday. Or at least that's what I think it should be, if he were here.

I was lucky to encounter someone from his crew here, where I got to hear about his adventures in our world. But this person left and I couldn't hear all I wanted to know.

Lately I've been thinking about home again. I hadn't done so in a while because I actually really like this place! but I wonder how everyone back home is doing, you know?

What I'm saying is that I don't know what to do? Should I tell everyone how amazing my brother is? Should I talk more about my friends and crew back home? Or should I just keep trying to live in the moment?

I'm conflicted beyond belief.

Hi Ace. I also feel the same thing as well, while I do love this place a lot I have been thinking about my home and my loved ones for a long time.

Still have a grandmother and some friends in there and I have no idea of how they are holding up while I’m here. Maybe by talking about the people we love as much as we can while we’re still in here, maybe that could ease the feeling of homesickness a little bit.

It would entirely depend on you, I think, when it comes to what you should or should not do. Would talking about them make you feel more connected to them? Or would it cause you to miss them too much when you do?

That could depend from person to person and how they feel about their own world and loved ones.

I really miss my family and my home very much, I haven’t seen any of them for over two years now but I try to make the best of being far away from them by talking about them to anyone who would be interested in learning more about them.

I wonder about my own home quite often, so you are not alone in that, Ace. And the advice may seem trite or unhelpful when you are conflicted, but you should follow your Heart.

Though, if it helps, I would like to hear about your friends and your brother. if you wish to talk about them, of course.

Happy birthday to your brother. ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

What kind of crew is he in?

[If this were in person, it would have taken more self control than it should for Ferran not to make a remark that at least someone from your home ever came here.

But he knows better than that. And he's grieving hard enough over friends he's made from other worlds leaving, anyway. He tries to focus on a productive topic, instead.]

I think it's important not to dwell too much on missing them, but trying to never talk about them just seems like [Hm. His writing pauses.] a missed opportunity, I guess. Like shutting a part of yourself away.
