college

since arriving at college, i've realized that living without my parent is exactly what i needed. my mental health is better, i'm happier, and everyone around me is actually interested in doing something with their lives. i'm no longer surrounded by people that are too eerily content with living in the same town for the rest of their lives.


being surrounded by people like that makes the world feel less hopeful. it almost makes you feel like there's nothing left out there. it sounds like a syndrome you can catch when you're stuck in a small town for too long. i wonder if that is a thing, based on everything that happens it the world it would not surprise me. 


aside from that though the people i've connected with at college make life feel great. the people there are supportive and fun to hang out with. they make me feel seen and heard which is something my hometown could never do for me. i miss my hometown sometimes, but most of the time i just miss being with my people at college. so much so that it's become home, and man do i love it there.
