Confessions on Sidechat | I just realized that I’m an adult now and no one is coming to save me anymore. I’m at college, away from my family and home and as much as I wanted to feel like home. I don’t. I’m prob just stressed from living with new people, but it’s still hard.

I just realized that I’m an adult now and no one is coming to save me anymore. I’m at college, away from my family and home and as much as I wanted to feel like home. I don’t. I’m prob just stressed from living with new people, but it’s still hard.

Give it time. It’s a brutal adjustment, so give yourself grace as you try and find your way. I remember the first time that feeling hit me, and I won’t lie and say I don’t still feel like that sometimes. What’s helped me is thinking of it less as being left floating alone, but learning how to show up for myself. A hard but necessary lesson. College has taught me how to love and take care of myself through it all, and I’m proud of that.

Honestly wasn’t really my choice either but I hadn’t made a decision on what I really wanted to do yet. I know that I enjoy having my own space. It’s peaceful and I find that i tend to be a bit more organized when I have control of the space, but I miss the familiarity. I don’t know if I even want to continue with college or enlist in the military or something. I can’t imagine myself working more of a white collar job. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Tonight has been stressful.

Remember too that you haven’t met all the people who’ll one day be so important in your life! Some plants take longer to put down roots, and that’s okay.

Thank you, this is a really sweet message. I guess I’m just not really ready to truly be an adult. I don’t think anyone is. It’s a bit scary, but I think everything will turn out ok.

i would say cherish what you do have. theres a lot of college students in substandard situations. if youre keeping your head above water then youre doing alright.
