after 15 months of this santa barbara bullshit, i really miss montana.
That's rough man.
I think I am finally no longer very homesick for NYC. =/
What helps is visiting after like 2 years and realizing a lot of what you miss is gone to the sands of time. At least that helped for me.
But moving can be rough. And setting up a new social circle and everything... it's fucking hard. So, all I can say is keep it positive and consider it an opportunity to learn to converse with random people and be way more sociable.

I think I need new friends. or maybe I just need to be better at actually seeing the friends I do have.
Asemi: You need to fucking relocate to Houston.
Agreed.
I've been 3 years 6 months away from my "home" if you will. I've experienced a great deal of "adjustments" if you will to that transition. I can't say that the whole thing has been positive on the whole, nor can I say it has been negative at this point either. I've experienced greater stability on the whole and a greater level of forward momentum towards my personal goals. Obviously there have been a great deal of sacrifices on a personal "idealized situation" outlook.
I cant say it gets better because I don't know exactly where all of this is going for myself. Nor can I say with any great confidence that I understand your situation, but, I am sure that if you looked at it on the whole from the perspective of why you moved, is the "bullshit" you are experiencing the day to day small stuff or actual friction towards some greater life plan? Most of the stuff that I absolutely hate about my life at the moment really boils down to small stuff.
All of this writing probably has a greater benefit to myself than you. I hope that you get through it and accomplish all that you desire to. Good luck out there!

Thanksgiving is for me one of the big homesick days of the year. I know my brothers and parents are sitting down to a meal today and I won't be there. And no matter where I am, I'll just keep thinking about that.
Worst homesick day for me I think. Every year.
At least I'll see em next week for my mom's 60th.
