The Post Exchange Depression


First off, happy Canada day to the Canadians, aspiring Canadians and will be Canadians.
Today we celebrate thy sons of the glorious and free, whoever we or they are. 
It took me a month to gather my thoughts from my exchange in Mexico.
I still cannot help but compare the beauty of this Latin American country although I live quite comfortably here at my base.
In Mexico, people are nicer, warm and more friendly.
Time is of the essence but no one is hardcore mad if you're late 10 minutes.
People knows how to have fun, other than drinking and getting drunk on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 
The balance of life just flows. 
Mexico's economic  progress may not be as quick and as grand as Canada's.
But Mexico's people are happier.
I am most likely biased because I was on an exchange.
I was not able to see everything.
Apart from the fact that I spent most of my time w/ other international students and Mexicans who can speak English.
Facts from above makes me miss the country so much more.
For the past month, I have been depressed from reminiscing all the things that happened in Mexico.
I miss it so much and I cant help but think about it every single moment.
I miss the people the I met, the places that I have been, food that I have tasted and moments that I have shared.
I cannot help but do this.
I think it would take me at least until the next travel I do to cope up with this depression.
But until then I need to make some remedies so I do not really have to be sad until I leave again.
I dive myself into work.
I have never told this into this blog but this year, I am busy and will be busy with 4 positions with our school's students association
Add my job as a telephone answering service and recently a grader/marker for one of my classes that I took before.
It's fulfilling since I think that the answer to this depression is attention.
I crave for attention.
I feel like to overcome this feeling I need to top it off with something greater.
So talk to me.
It doesnt have to be about my exchange, just anything.

I wish I can move countries now. 
I dont really want to stay here.
The beauty and feeling of liberty.
It changed me a WHOLE LOT.

Much Love.
