So my first semester of college ended today. And I think I’ve learned more this semester than 4 years of high school. I learned that it’s okay to not be the person you were. Or the person you thought you’d be. I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’m not afraid to say “I just want to be a mom”. I’m torn between my possible career and boyfriend. I’m proud of my political beliefs. The list could go on. But the thing that really amazes me the most about this past 4 months is the fact that I did it. I moved away from the only place I knew. I moved away from the only people I loved. I went to a whole new city. A whole new school. I knew no one. And I’m standing here today, and I have friends. I go to dinners and watch movies with people who I haven’t known for 12 years. I’m no longer stuck in my therapists room talking about my drunk father or ex boyfriend. I’m me now. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted.
