Every time Ricardo uses the word yearn, he symbolizes his desire and longing for home. Ricardo moved away from the place that he loved to go to college, and for the first time he was living in the moment.

Regret because it made me think how much different my life could be right now if I would still live with my parents, and guilt because well I'm guilty of doing exactly as the author had mentioned is a problem in America. Before reading this I've had some thought that I made a bad life choice leaving so early, but Natadecha-Sponsel does such an immaculate job at connecting this cultural difference to me personally, I think I'm going to have to run home after reading it and give my mom a hug!
