I strongly believe i will never be truly happy here. before, i never had to worry about being judge or looked at funny. i always feel like this whenever i’m out in public. yeah i could ignore it, but i still feel like all eyes are on me - i don’t feel comfortable here. if i have the opportunity to leave and go back to california and attend college there, i will take it. even if it means i’ll be away from my parents and sister for a while. i know it will be difficult without my parents helping me step by step with everything, but that’s a part of growing up. it’s what I want.
