as a teen i used to avoid hanging around town in case i bumped into someone i know and/or i went to school with. i hated it here and dreamt of one day leaving but of course that never happened, now not only do i love it but working at the local library means i'm actively participating in society. after only three shifts i've bumped into distant relatives, old classmates, my former male best friend and the only boy i've ever had a crush on. it was so crazy. but seeing them after ten years or even more.... was actually nice. i can't believe i'm saying this. i already know my life is gonna be so different after this one year experience

I used to think it sucked, and hated feeling like people looked down on me for staying (for reference, everyone I knew at school left after). But I basically had to rebuild myself and social life after school in the same way that being in a new environment would be. And you know what, give a fuck! even though in every film being the girl that stays at home is a freak, my life has become so full and loving… let that freak flag fly:))))

Really helped me see my hometown through fresh new eyes, and appreciate things about it I took for granted!
It also made me feel like I could bring all of me that has developed since I left the city back into it instead of purely regressing into my teenage self🥳

Im so glad youve found a job that you love. One of the biggest risks i took was moving to the other side of the country, alone and away from family and friends, for school. It was really hard at first, but I think ive learned so much and grown in a lot more ways than if i had stayed at home. Right now I couldnt be happier. Even though its been years, my family and friends back home and I are still close, even if we arent able to talk or hang out as frequently. Wishing you all the best <3

i'm gonna break the news to everyone this weekend but i need to tell someone right now - i passed the selection process for a one year internship at my local library with the highest score !!! it will be my first job and i felt so bad and out of place in every job interview i've ever had except for this one, the people there were so lovely and were genuinely interested in me and my interests. i can't believe it, i'm so excited i could cry :'))
