I’ve been a traveling nurse for a long time now and I’ve had a lot of opportunities to travel and work. My favorite experiences were the ones that took me out of the comfort of my home, to places I never imagined I would be. I still feel the need to go places where I’ve never been. I think that the desire to travel and be out in the world, to see new sights and meet new people, is something that is very important to me.
I don’t mean to sound like I don’t realize how important that need to go places is, and I believe I do. It is however something that I have struggled with in my life and I feel like I might not be able to achieve it without the help that others have given me.
Home is a place where you can retreat from the world and focus on yourself. You can go to your room, turn on the tv, and forget that you are in a room. When you go out to a restaurant or a movie, it almost feels like you are outside of your body.
Of course, your body is also going to be doing a lot of the work of home, so you can’t really hide away. I remember a time when I felt like I was living in a bubble. I was so far away from everything that it was like I was just going through the motions. I was so busy in my life that I couldn’t even make myself go to the grocery store or go to the movie theater.
I think that’s where many of us fall-our lives are so busy that we can’t even realize how busy we are.
I feel you. I used to feel so busy that I couldnt even see the stars. I never really made the time for going outside and getting a walk. I was always too busy to take out the trash. I was too busy to cook, to sew, and to cook. I was too busy to clean, to take care of myself. I was too busy to have a home, or be a mom. I was too busy to be anything. I just felt so busy.
I can’t seem to get enough time for the movie.
I feel your pain. I was always so busy. I never had time to get out and take a walk and get a walk. I was too busy to go out and get a ride, to take care of my hair, to take off my shoes, to do laundry, and to do the dishes. I was too busy to go outside and build a fire, to clean the kitchen, to take out the trash.
I’m not sure if anyone has ever said that to you, or asked you to do some thing that you never thought you would ever do. But you know how many times I feel like I have to come home from a trip and just go, “Man, I’m home.” And I feel like I’m just one of those people who needs the home, but I don’t have enough time to be home. I feel like I have to be somewhere.
People who are homesick usually don’t like to give themselves time to be home. The one thing that they are good at is taking time out of their busy schedules to be home with loved ones. Because as we’ve seen, time is so precious, and a person’s time is so valuable, that is the very thing that they are trying to avoid by not being home.
