how has this year challenged or changed you?: The transition to college has been really rewarding but really hard. I have a relationship with a person I really care about and I’ve been working so hard to make different friends all across campus. There have certainly been bouts of loneliness and worry as I try to find a place that I belong, but I am doing my best and as long as I keep trying, I’ll find my place eventually. I’ve changed my mind on what I want to do and I’m happy to be able to keep discovering myself in a place that’s safe to do so.

how has this year challenged or changed you?: i've learned a lot about myself this year. i still haven't come anywhere close to figuring it out (and tbh i don't think i ever fully will LOL), but i've been forced to consider things past my comfort zone and continue to grow as a person.

how has this year challenged or changed you?: I've had to say goodbye to many friends because they simply didn't want me around anymore, for some reason or another. They all left for personal reasons that they attempted to gaslight me for, though. So really, did I even lose "friends" at all? Nevertheless, their words and deeds cut deep, and to be hurt by so many in such a short amount of time has left me quite broken, to say the very least.

how has this year challenged or changed you?: It has been the challenge of appreciating what I have, and embracing it. I6ts easier to focus on what is lost, but this year I have slowly been learning to focus more on what I have left.
