pessimism gets the best of us

[eringabbahey]

I am in some kind of rut.

I have spent more time miserable than I have happy.

I wasn't supposed to grow up this fast.
School was supposed to last forever.

Boston feels more like a death sentence than the opening of a door.

Care to elaborate?

I was in a horrible mood yesterday.

It just seems that going to Boston is going to mean the end of a lot of things.
I'm afraid I am going to lose touch with everyone.
It's an immature thought, but it felt very real yesterday.
Now that I think about it, Boston will only be a death sentence if I let it.

I'm glad to read you've turned your thoughts around.

I think you will lose touch with some people, but those who care about will be among the first to rush to you once you come home. And I think one makes better friends in college. I am actually closer to my roommates than people I knew in pre-school. But, I'm especially lucky that my roommates were incredibly cool. However, I hope this is true with you; I think you will make new friends, meet new people, especially people who are highly interested in the things you are highly interested in.
