Dude, you got this. The taste of freedom to be who and what you want to be is truly tasty. The freedom to choose who you want in your life, being free from those who are bad for and your goals in life, it'll come. Take advantage of every second of it when it does. My advice? I'll put it in this spoiler thingy just incase you dont wanna see it. [spoiler]Sorround yourself with wise people. Be patient. Its fully okay to slow down or take a breather but don't give up on yourself and your dreams. Do not be hesitant to stand up for yourself and what you deem right, even if it brings negative consequenses in the short term. Be not only yourself, be the best [i]you[/i] you can be. [/spoiler] Moving into your own place and all is hella scary. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that, not sayin you dont, but there comes a certain joy and peace along it aswell. It aint all gloomy. Trust me, I aint got a good childhood, not even remotely, so I dont say this shit without knowin the pain you probably do aswell.
