College
July 24, 2021
Going away for college
is not as happy as the movies make it seem
for me it means leaving the support system i built for myself
it means
leaving my mother
my father
my stepmom
and my little brother
it means making my relationship
long distance
it means learning to be by myself
with nothing to fall back on
it means living with 3 girls i hardly know
it means leaving the place i know and love
and living somewhere else for a while
and thats terrifying.
