What a great Christmas break. I went home for the first time in two and a half years. I spent time with my family and friends, visited places I used to hang around, and ate my favorite Peruvian dishes. Home stills feels like home, even after such a long time.
After the two weeks I spent in Peru, I realized that home is where my I can be with my family. Even though I enjoyed visiting Peru, I enjoyed the trip mainly because of the people I spent time with. My family is definitely the most important thing for me and it's great to know that we have a very strong bond no matter where we live.
I have set in my mind to make my family a priority. I might be a long ways from home, but I'm sure I can find things I can do to continue to strengthen my relationship with them. My parents and grandparents live in Peru, my brother lives in San Francisco, and my cousins live in California, Las Vegas and Canada, but if we continue to build a strong relationship with each other, the distance between us won't really separate us at all.
I completely agree that family should be a priority. I have a hard time keeping in contact with people back home while I am at college, but nothing makes me happier than talking and hanging with my family. I should make more of an effort to reach out to my family and keep in contact with them because they are the most important people in my life. Thanks for reminding me of that!
