This is by far my biggest regret about coming to study in the States. I'm not there for my family and friends when they need me the most. Words can never replace your presence at the moment when they need a shoulder to cry on or a hug to remind them that everything will be okay regardless of the situation.
One of my friends went through a tough time trying to forget bad relationships in the past, she wanted to start over and I couldn't be there for her. My cousin's girlfriend just passed away in a sudden freak incident. And I'm here...a million miles away, sending smses saying that everything will be okay. I hate it because I feel like everything is NOT okay! It is not okay...

Hey Manda, we understand that you went there to further your studies not going for holiday or what. We know that u always wanted to be here when we need you the most but thats ok. We understand that. Although your body is not with us but we know that your heart will always do. We love you and misses you deeply!
Aww, how sweet! Thank you so much. But yeah, sometimes I can't help but feel guilty that I'm not there. It's harder when something major happens. :(
Haven't been here in a while. About what you wrote, I guess you can't help that... I mean, that's life, move on and all that? Had an uncle die when I was here, a lot of stuff... I just don't worry about it, because there is nothing I could do about it :) Only worry about things you could control, i guess.
To a certain extent, life just sucks that way, you don't get what you want, or you're stuck in a scenario you wish you were not in... Basically life sucks, you just have to deal with it? Wishing you could change what you can't is an exercise in futility, isn't it?

Yeah, I know Mugi but one can't help how they feel can they? About scenarios...I tend to find myself in more scenarios over here than back home. Maybe it's because I've been away for so long. It's been almost 5 months. At times I feel like it was 10 years and sometimes, just yesterday.
