Why I found a purpose

     To this day I have never dreaded anything more than I dreading going home. I wasn't ready to explain my situation to anyone, I didn't want to be asked any questions by family, friends, or acquaintances, and I especially didn't want to look like I failed considering I was one of the few people who moved out of Texas after graduation.

     To be completely honest I'm not even sure how many different stories and lies I told while I was home because I simply didn't think anyone was relevant enough to know the truth, and also I was extremely embarrassed because I looked like I wasted a whole year of my life in LA.

     I decided that if I was going to be home again then I was going to focus completely on myself. I quickly got two jobs and started working constantly again, and I started to get into fitness and health, which finally made me feel like I had a purpose instead of just binge eating ice cream while watching criminal minds like I had done all summer.
