A very important part of the Erasmus are airports. When you first leave home, your whole family accompanies you to the airport and they see you leaving while they think “how fast children grow up” (I’m sure you are all familiar with that sentence).
To leave home after summer is always difficult, because you aren’t saying goodbye only to your home and to your family, you are also saying goodbye to these amazing summer days.
And then, once you have left you don’t look back anymore, until you come back. But not for good.
When you come back for a few days, leaving home again always feels uphill. Suddenly, when you know what it’s waiting for you in both places, you feel like your heart is divided, like you can’t choose between staying and going back.
But, let me reassure you: I think that you feel that way because you know you have to come back to your Erasmus life, so you feel bad for not being able to stay a little longer at home. But trust me, once you have to come back home for good, the situation changes: coming back from what actually has been home for so long, doesn’t look that good.
Thank God Summer will have arrived.
