Question 2: Jonas
What does missing feel like?
Well in our French class there's this poster, and it says—um, in French you don't really say "You are missing—Uh—I miss you," but um, "you are missing from me," like, "tu me .. like n—" I don't know how to say it. But, so I feel like it's .. almost like—'cause you had something, and then, you kind of lost it. So I guess it's more of a feeling of like […] something not being there, than, you—and than it still being there and you not being able to feel it.
[…] And missing also I feel like—maybe I'll hear a sound, or I'll breathe in really sharply like cold air, and that will remind me, and I feel like reminders can make you feel it, too. And it's very sudden—like, I'll just be hanging out with my friend here, in Abu Dhabi, and I'll just be having a nice time, but then like they'll say something, or I'll hear something, from somebody else, and I'll—I'll be reminded of something, and the whole experience gets morphed a little bit.
[…] you can't not miss, because there's always gonna be a thing you miss. Like, home—even when you're—when I'm home, some—when I was living in New York, still, I would go to the deli sometimes, and I would —after I ate it, I would miss the food that I got. You know like—it's not even .. like it's not even big things, you're always missing something. […] I'll be reminded of New York City when I breathe in quickly or something like that, you know feel cold air, something like that.
