Today is the first time I've been homesick in a long time. I guess the funny thing is that I'm sitting in my room at my house, the same house I've lived in my entire life. I'm longing for a place that I've only stayed, at most, a few weeks at a time.
The things that drive me crazy are the little reminders of how much I miss it there, how much I miss them.
I watch the intensely green leaves of trees blowing in the hot summer wind. I still taste the cold, sour lemonade and feel the heat of the bonfire on my face. I remember the feeling of belonging as I sat in the cool grass beneath a sky full of brilliant fireworks.
It makes me want to catch the next flight out of here.
Maybe home isn't really where you live but where your heart is. I leave myself asking, why does my heart have to be so far away?

this may be the worst-written entry i have read, although it is still very good, better than i could hope to do. its just the ending, it almost sounds like you think you have came up with the old cliche and that creates a very pretentious vibe
