This morning I left the house I have lived in my entire life to get on a plane, fly across the country, and meet a stranger that I’ll be living with for a while.
I’ve cried a lot.
I don’t exactly know how long I’ll be gone, but I already wish I was back. I miss my nieces and nephews. I miss my parents. My pets. My friends. Everything.
I will make the best of this opportunity, but everything I love is back in Maine.
I’m going to be a mess for a while.
