I know that I said I was gonna be inactive on here from now on, but I just wanted to share a really, really important milestone with you all.
I just found out that I got into my dream school!! I’m so so happy but I’m also in complete disbelief tbh
mainly though, I feel really sad. the school is in Massachusetts and when I go, I’ll have to leave behind my family and friends—everyone that I’ve grown so close and familiar with, especially over the past four years in particular. but mainly, I feel guilty. I remember being 13, sobbing in my room and praying that I’d live long enough to get out of this house, and now I’m almost 18 and crying bc I don’t want to leave behind everything I worked so hard to build for myself. don’t get me wrong, I’m so excited to go and I’ve got a lot of amazing opportunities to look forward to, but it’s strange how much I’ve changed over the course of high school. I know everyone changes a lot, especially during hs, but it’s hitting me all at once that the life I’ve dreamed of living for so, so long is going to become a reality. it’s going to happen. and I feel so happy, but so sad at the same time. I really, really wish I could talk to 9th grade me and show him that we actually fuckin did it.
