It& #39;s been 2 and a bit months since my American friends left Glasgow and moved to Germany and I am still struggling to adjust. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht"> I definitely think the amount of bad things I& #39;ve had to deal with since they left hasn& #39;t helped matters at all though. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

The main thing that& #39;s not helped matters is the fact I had 2 deaths to deal with so soon after Christmas. I think because of this - I& #39;ve not had time to fully process/accept my friends are no longer close by to me or adjust to it myself. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

I know my friends miss Glasgow too and are also finding it hard getting settled into Dresden, so it& #39;s not just me struggling at least. But I guess Germany is quite a bit different to Scotland, especially if they have to learn a language too. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">

But I am finding it very hard not even being able to chat to them as much as usual. I know they have to work/earn money, but it& #39;s still sad for me, as I loved speaking to them nearly every day (and not just at night) when they were in Glasgow...and I don& #39;t have that anymore. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

The other thing I find sad is that I don& #39;t look forward to weekends the same now. When my American friends were close by, I had most weekends lined up where I was seeing someone other than family. But that& #39;s a thing of the past now too, bar when I see my old school friend. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">
