August this year felt heavier than ever before. It took me some time to reflect and think about why I felt the way I did. I’m writing this blog post now in October with some more clarity on my feelings. But as always, these were my outfits during the month.

Homesickness
It took a while for the homesickness to kick in for me. And a couple of months after the fact for me to figure out that I just missed my mom and sister around. I always kind of thought that I'd be okay on my own, without being a burden to my family by waking up them up at 3/4 am when I'd get home from dinner/drinks some nights. I thought I'd have better peace of mind knowing that I'm not bothering my mom to do my laundry on the weekend, and each article a certain way. I definitely took her sunny-side-ups and already made coffee for granted. I appreciated them, but not the same way I thought I did, now that I can barely bother to heat up the water in the morning.
It felt strange, the weeks leading up to my actual birthday. In previous years, I would have already started celebrating days in advance. At first, I blamed the sadness on the fact that it's around the same time that my grandfather passed away last year. My thoughts about life as much as dying really started to weigh me down. I think it's still making me a little sad typing this out, but the events last month and recently are keeping me afloat. For now, I'll leave it at this - but I'm sure I'll revisit these thoughts somewhere down the line and continue sharing my sentiments. I'm kind of bummed that I can no longer blame my antics by calling it a quarter-life-crisis anymore. Here's to 26.
