I’m feeling really happy because I feel like I belong!!! I stopped being close with someone I called my best friend for the past two or three years, and going through that whole sort of break up process was weird. You know when you just no longer feel the same way about someone? I’ve been really unsure about whether I’m a bad person for not feeling the same, but I understand that people just grow apart. Not being so close with her has been a great opportunity to become friends with these girls I’ve known since ninth grade. I have a lot more in common with them; we really connect and I feel like we have a lot to offer each other.

I’m also really excited for school to start up, because over the summer I’ve gained a lot of confidence!!! There are some people who have wronged me, which caused me to feel insecure, as though I couldn’t stand up for myself. Now, though, I think I can and that feels really great!!! I’m tired of not saying what’s on my mind, and now that I’m in a much better social situation, I have the support I need to be good to myself. ♦
