Water boy and the jock

The hardest part of your life, now when is that? your first break up? high school? or you fall out with your first ever friend after planning your entire world around them and thinking your life would be a shamble without them? Yeah, it's different for us all, but mine has to be university, the main reason. Moving countries! Just to stay close to your family... pathetic isn't it dropping everything you had to stay with a family who only remembers you after you get somewhere with your life then throw you out when it falls apart," and stay out you little freak!" well that was exactly what was happening right now, in the middle of the night... in the rain... oh and did I mention it's mid-October and I'm only in pjs? No, well now you know.
My family had been like this since an early age, closing themselves off from the world, their family, leaving each other to fight their problems on their own and only showing up for one thing or another, normally money, but who am I kidding it's all I've known since the second I could walk and talk, it's practically normal by now, I mean what else am I meant to base my life on? The TV? That's more fake than the Christmas get togethers I've witnessed over my 17 years of life, the night air is the warmest embrace I've ever felt during those years, but I do have to say, most recently they have changed, for the best? I have no idea but what else could be better?
