homesick!!!! yeowch!

#I miss singing as a whole school every morning in assembly #we'd do the new zealand national anthem (which fucks its a fantastic song) and then classics like Tōia mai te waka nei and others #and the entire school (in all 3 schools I went to. its a kiwi thing not just a 1 school thing) would fucking belt the words with joy #and if you felt too awkward to sing?? youd just mouth the words that day and no one would care or notice!!! #it was wonderful the schools there had such a strong sense of community #but ofc I don't just miss school thats like. not even top 5 on things I miss #the main ones being the PLACES #camping in napier and taupo and whananaki.... #weekends at the beach house in whangamata #those road trips where we'd pass field after field after field of sheep and cows (belted galloways beloved) #and drive through crazy little towns like TIRAU.... search up tirau please oh my god that entire town was made of corrugated iron #I remember skiing trips in ohakune on mt ruapehu.. #god I fucking miss skiing the highest mountain here is 164 fucking metres. mt ruapehu is quite literally 20 times that #and its not even in the tallest 10 #this entire fucking country is flat and sweaty and homophobic and government restricted and full of shit that can kill you #protests are illegal here. pride parades? nah. you step outside and insantly you're drenched in sweat and your hair sticks to your face #maybe im being too harsh there are some good things ofc like the public transport and cost of eating out but. #I never liked the city #I need to go home #6 months of waiting for a small holiday is too long and not enough #vent #robin shut up challenge #if you read this far thank you #this fucking sucks. I love new zealand I need to be home I need to #its a part of me its like I'm walking around without blood in my veins it feels Wrong
