I used to try so hard to reinvent myself and it drove me absolutely crazy trying to be something that I wasn't. Just be open to new experiences and people and push yourself out of your comfort zone a little after you leave. Both leaving the place that you've been comfortable in and gradating high school are big changes and they will already kickstart the process of finding yourself. If you're open to it, you'll absolutely find yourself even if you don't realize it in the moment. You've got this!

honestly this feels like shitty advice but there's no other way to put it... I moved continents to go to university without knowing a soul in the place I would live - and I managed by basically pushing myself to going to every university event that was going on (freshers week, night outs, etc), talking to as many people as possible and barely staying in my dorm.
it was absolutely terrifying. both moving and trying to make friends. but I wouldn't change the experience and the life I've built for the world. you grow so much out of it.

moving here can be really hard!!! my first year or two was extremely difficult but i eventually found my footing. i recommend staying open to possibilities but also being selective—there is sooo much to choose from here that new things are often worth trying but you also dont have to waste your time on things that feel untrue to you. it's all about finding the balance ^___^ seek out what interests you and dont be afraid of taking risks!!!

given that you’ve already started the pivot, it seems like you just need a lil pep talk. here it goes: you are exactly the right age to be taking on new challenges. sure, theres some risk involved. but time is 100% on your side, and the fastest way to self-actualize is to operate outside your comfort zone.
just take this one day at a time and don’t stress about the unknowable future. its a waste of energy you could be dedicating to learning and growing here in the present. it will work out. it usually always does.

hate your friends? feel like you picked the wrong life path? tempted to break up with your partner? breaking out? play tetris. Tetris is known to override your brain or something and therefore it's the perfect way to cope with any and all issues!
