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 Iβm 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. Heβs my only study buddy, so it was important. ππ
Itβs nice to be finding my place here.
