Been here a while. It's great exploring and meeting so many people I wouldn't have back home. Don't get me wrong.

I just can't help being homesick. Or, I guess, at least, missing my best friend. I know not everyone else here has ended up together with their friends or family. How has everyone else been dealing with it? Mikleo and I were together all the time back home, before I ended up here.

[Except that One Time they fought about Mikleo becoming a Sub Lord and joining Sorey in the pact with Lailah. But. Details.]

I won't lie to you, it's difficult. Really difficult.

Saying I still don't struggle with this would make me a hypocrite.

Yeah. I figured I might not be the only one without at least some friends from home. I'm just not used to being without Mikleo. I keep even now after months, still sometimes going to point out something to him or ask him something before I remember he isn't here.

If it's advice you really want: you can't change things so it'll be best if you just focus on yourself. Not on other people.

It's hard but not impossible.

[historiology]

Right. I guess so. Basically keep doing what I have been. Keeping busy. Trying to keep distracted from thinking about home. About him.

[standingonmyneck]

Hey, I'm not saying it like it's easy. Like I said, it's hard. It's just also not impossible.

For one instance, I don't think you can stop yourself from thinking about him. But focusing that energy on your betterment and independence with him on your back mind might be a reasonable goal.

[historiology]

Yeah. I've managed so far? More or less. Just. Still find myself about to try ask him something or point something out before I remember he isn't here. But you're right. That's more or less what I have been trying to do. Focus on here, what I can do, the new friends I'm making.
