    I'll be honest.
    I don't want to go home because I don't want to see the struggles and poverty. It only reminds me that I cannot fail. Seeing the stagnation live nje is too much.
    Listening to people list their woes and worries. I don't have a solution for you 🤷🏽‍♀️. And it's going to eat me that I'm not at a point where I can offer you a solution. But another thing, am I always going to be expected to be the solution?

    This is so relatable, every single thing you said is definitely me and I feel so guilty for never feeling homesick. I only go home in December because I have younger siblings that I don't want to traumatise. I hope you have a great December regardless ❤

    lol this is so relatable. Same in all my years of uni, I only went home when they forced us out of res during recess. Other than that, I never went. I was always part of the first people to come back 😂

    The cost of being the responsible and dependant one also means for me I couldn't share any of my struggles. Leaving the other siblings to do whatever they wanted without feeling the pressure. Now I go home for my son and my mom cause she's getting on in years. I am also the firstborn it gets too much and the black tax yhoo ha.a. Now I am alternating December to go home cause I like my place and me and my son can just be chill.

      Totally understandable, being a first born sometimes mean you give up being a child at a very young age.
      All the best!❤️

    I have so much to say, but just come to a time where you live freely without being a fixer. It doesn't mean you irresponsible but everyone must play a role. Start by involving all your parents and siblings to all have a role to play. Responsibility is a big problem in life. I don't think its fair for other people to be care free while others are carrying a whole truck load of Responsibility. Responsibility has a potential of consuming people to a point where they cannot save themselves anymore.

    I never get home sick. I go home three times a year. A weekend before the semester starts because I would be working since early Jan. Then when both semesters end🤷🏽‍♀️.

      When I was still a student, I used to go home twice. June and December, and after 3-5 days, I was always ready to bounce.

    Hi Zen
    Thank you so much for this talk. I thought I was the only one being the problem solver at home. I also don't like to see people suffer. I was a raised by a single parent, it was not hey but she made sure we don't sleep hungry and we have proper school uniform.
