Growing Up?

I can feel myself growing up. And I can find all the cons about it, but nothing positive. I lost my home, and my family, and the confident person I used to be. I'm struggling to find what the good part is.

I guess it's that I can reinvent myself? A chance to design what kind of adult I can become? So far, I think I'm a politically educated, funny woman trying to be confident and trust in myself.

But I miss it. I feel like the pathetic adult who can't let her high school success go. Because she feels like her life there was better than her one now.

Ugh. I just have to hold on to the idea that in 4 years, I'll have a degree. Maybe one I can make some money with...and then I can get an apartment in Minneapolis with the people I love. And help the world as best I can.

I can do this...
