Everything changed in 19 centuries when the government acted to the current rampant outbreak of nostalgia and started encouraging people to be emotionally stronger. Nowadays, people see homesickness as not a big deal. Personally, I see homesick as nothing more than the pain of leaving home. I left my country four years ago, and I must admit it hasn’t been easier. Every day, small details like food keep giving me continuous reminder of home which sometimes makes me feel a little bit wistful. I…
