Earth is My Home

Anywhere I live, as long as I enjoy and feel comfortable there, that would be a place called home for me.
About 6 days I have stayed in my aunty's family in Beijing. Everyday I walked around Jianguomen, the diplomatic compound where my aunty lives, got back there after enjoying my whole day trip exploring each site of Beijing on my own. I must admit it that I enjoyed staying in this vicinity, not to mention the warm atmosphere in my aunty's house.
Thus, leaving Beijing, I felt a kind of "sad" feeling. Funny, I just stayed there not for long. I guess, leaving one place, no matter how long you have stayed there, there must be this kind of "uncomfortable" feeling. Eventhough I have dealt with this several times, yet I expect that I can deal with this better and better. I supposed to get used to with it though, leaving one place where It has been part of my soul already.
To be honest, I don't really like this kind of feeling, neither does anyone I believe. At the present time, I am also worrying to deal with such feeling for leaving Dalian in the next couple days. I have to leave my friends, my new community that I have built since the beginning I came. Come what may, life must go on. Hence, what I need to do now is to enjoy the rest of my time as good as possible, time with good quality to spend with my friends here in Dalian.
Being an adventure-lover, moving into a completely strange new place, will be an exciting experience. There you have to start making friends, selecting people to be part of your community, doing socialisation...it's all so exciting. But from this point, there must be also a time to say good bye. Leaving your friends, leaving a place which you have considered home. Anyway, this "uncomfortable" feeling, soon or later, will be over, I hope.
Some thoughts of mine: Anywhere you go, try to make it as comfortable as you can. Expand your friendship, build your community, so you can enjoy living in one new place, as any place on this earth is our beautiful home.
