I miss travelling too Galen! As much as I want to see the world and discover new places, I really want to go back to my backyard in Jamaica. I have such fond memories of spending time with my mum in her garden, picking seasonal fruits, with nosy neighbours whispering, "it's Miss Chambers last daughter, and the white man is her husband"... and of my dad washing his car, and every other car parked in the yard, squeaky clean for his dislike of dirty vehicles.
I miss jerk pork, I miss my contankerous neighbour who wakes up every morning saying, "he's going to knock down that woman" (Jamaican: "Mi a go lick dun da ooman deh, u nu")...
I miss seeing the sexiness and carefree attitude of the girls
I DON'T miss the men though.
It's funny really, the world is at our feet and yet we yearn for home. I get it. No matter where I go I always like that moment I walk off the plane onto Australian soil. Getting home to my cats is even better. 😊
It sounds like you have some special memories and I hope you make it back soon.
Ah, there's no notification of this response, but hey! I found it!😁 Despite having too much wine.
Yeah, I do have special memories of home, and never in a million years did I think it was possible to be away from home for so long.
Hopefully, I'll be back on Jamaican soil soon, in the flesh, of course:)
...and yes, I wanna meet my mum's little pussycat
Cats are the best. I like mine more than most people. 😊
yeah, I love yours too, and I haven't even met her.🙃
Cleo is a lovely little thing. She's my prized and most valuable posession.
I bet she is 😍...I'm not surprised because she's adorable:)
#Post-Wine-Recovery response: Yes, it's always a heartwarming feeling to touch down in the land of birth, from wherever you have been...Whether a short or long vacation. It's just a feeling that fills you up with pride (for me at least)...In Jamaica, it's the warmness of the people, and their direct and descriptive expressions that make me know "yes" I'm home...then I encounter a crude man, and just wanna leave😏
You've mentioned the blokes in Jamaica a few times. Sounds like you're not at all impressed with them. Rude, ungentlemanly and crass in general?
Yeah, I'm just not a fan of them at all. You'd have to witness it to fully understand, and if you don't understand, not sure how you'd deal with it. Men will even say explicit, vulgar, crude, crass stuff of what they'd like to do to you, even if you are with your partner. It's a reality that's hard to comprehend. Some women like it, I DON'T! I have a hard time taking injustice of any kind without retaliating, which brings out a dark side of me; a darkness that's best dormant.
They sound like dick heads.
"They" are!👺😡
...they think of themselves as James Bond...they must sleep with every woman they meet.
Leave a scarecrow in a skirt, and "they" will lust after it, before realising what it is...yes, that's just how stupid they are.
