Family Problems: Could "Family" Actually be the Problem?

I've noticed that a lot of other people are missing their families, getting home sick and going home to visit quite a bit. This isn't something that I've been having an issue with. I guess I never realized how little of an emotional connection me and my family have. Honestly my family hasn't hardly even crossed my mind more than the few times that I have received a call from one parent or the other or a random snapchat from my brother. After this was brought to my attention I initially felt kind of sad that I never had that kind of relationship with my family, but then I thought about it and realized I like the distance in my family. I enjoy having space to do my own thing, be myself and be independent. I have pretty much left my old life behind minus a handful of friends and my girlfriend. Most people would hear this and feel sad for me or find this to be an issue. But for me, as awful as it sounds, not talking to people from school or really talking to my family is kind of nice. I feel like the people who are all caught up with their families are held back. This is because while everyone else is feeling emotionally stressed, sad and distracted from life here on campus because they're home sick, I'm focusing more on school work, hanging out with my new friends and going to activities on campus. I am able to get even more of the freedom I've always enjoyed and with that I can be happy.
