I sadly realized that it is indeed hard when you move away to another country because of the lack of connection and communication with the people you love the most.

Anyway, some friends keep saying that it is only due to the 7 hour difference that we haven’t been able to talk as usual. But is it really? Is that the reason why I haven’t been able to talk as much as I would like to with my loved ones?

For me that sounds more as an excuse.

And what has really hit me the most these last couple of days is realizing that I am usually the one who reaches out first. I’m the one who puts all the effort to maintain the relationships. I’m the one who is always keeping in touch, making sure they are alright, sharing, sending pictures and voice messages. The saddest thing here though is that I’m not getting that in return.

And I saw this quote yesterday. And it hit me.

And it goes like this » You are not selfish for wanting the same energy and love you give».

And yeah, I am not. I am not asking for too much.
