Want to know a secret?



Jan 09, 2008 - 18:25 PM PST

I'm 19 and scared.

I learned i'm more independent than i had thought.
I also learned how confused and scared i am being on my own (not under my parents roof).
It started out exciting! But now its stressfull.
Does anyone ever feel this way or am i alone?

I got a stupid debit card and it being x-mass and all i went in debt.
Moving from new york to texas for college was pobably the biggest change in my life.
I didnt get job the first semester cause i wanted to do well.
This semester will be even harder...and I need to get a job on top of that.

Ive also just been sketchy scared about how i went home to visit and how many friends i have lost after high school. Guess people change right.

As ive gotten older, ive seen friends lose parents. Ive lost an aunt.
Im scared fo when it my turn to lose someone super close.


I'm Nineteen and scared.

I lost my grandfather last february and we were really close...It changed me but i dont know if it was for better or worse...complete detachment has been the result and it seems unfortunate but I can also tell its made me stronger as an individual...at times i feel like I've skipped adolescence and went from being a child to being an adult overnight...Independence is a beautiful thing, it's learning to adapt thats the hard part...you've just gotta put one foot in front of the other, even if you have no idea where you're going...I'm sure you'll be fine kidd...

There's nothing wrong with how you feel. I'd be more worried about you if you were nineteen and had figured the whole world out. Stay strong!
