Missing home doesn’t mean you left wrong. It means home was good enough to miss.

Homesickness gets read as proof the move was a mistake, when it is usually proof of the opposite. You only ache for something that was worth having in the first place. Two feelings can run alongside each other for a while, wanting to be where you are and missing where you came from, and neither cancels the other.

Let it be ordinary rather than a verdict. Ring home on a fixed day so the wanting has somewhere to go, and keep building the small things that make a new place yours. Both get easier, just not at the same speed.
