I have been living in Jacksonville for 35 days now. The first 30 days here were exciting, overwhelming, lonely, isolating, and a real struggle if I’m being honest. Moving from Atlanta was truly difficult. I left my friends, best friends, and friends who were more like family all behind. I left behind the university and city that truly feels like home.
However, over the last 5 days, I have really started to finally feel at home and love Jax. I was able to hang out all weekend with 2 new friends who I really adore, and see all my other friends too! A weekend of fun, sun, and friends was what I really needed after a rough week.
I also came out to my only friend from school. I was just letting him get to know me a little before I told him, and he was totally cool with it, which was also awesome. He’s my only study buddy, so it was important. 😂😂
It’s nice to be finding my place here.
