I never thought it possible to miss a hunk of rock. But it miss it, I miss Earth.

I miss proper gravity. I miss proper food. I miss my old house. I miss the sky. I miss plants. I miss dirt. I miss animals. I miss silence. I miss TV. I miss being still. I miss books. I miss cars. I miss the internet. I miss shops. I miss parks. I miss the beach. I miss roller-coasters. I miss swimming. I miss Earth.

I told myself I wouldn't let this happen. I swore that I could ignore the fact that I left everything I've ever known. But you know what? I can't.

What the hell am I doing here? Why the hell did I sign up for this? 

I can keep asking myself these questions. I can keep wishing I could rewind the clock. But whether I continue with this or get on with my life, I can't go back. I knew that. I always knew that.

But it doesn't take away the fact that I miss Earth.

P.S. Sorry, no smiley face today.
