I'm a freshman in a university about 5 hours away from my home and have had a really tough time adapting. I never wanted to go to this university and it's my dream to go to one overseas but that is super expensive and I wouldn't want to put my family through paying for that, not that they even could. I had a falling out with multiple best friends and really hurt them because of my selfishness right before I came here and have been having a super tough time getting over that.
On a complete whim today I went out to a local skate shop and bought a board for $100. Like really, my personality and interests are the complete opposite of your typical "skater" and I hadn't stood on a skateboard since I was probably ten and actually trying again never even crossed my mind until today, but I had a strong desire to for some reason.
I went around campus for hours skating on my new board and trying to do tricks with a friend of mine who had a longboard. I felt like a complete degenerate and sucked the entire time but I had more fun than I've had in a really long time. I may have finally found something to relieve all the stress, anxiety, fear, and just general depression I've had festering inside of me for months and months now. I'm just really worried that the allure of this new thing will wear off soon or I'll get sucked into some weird culture that I didn't want to be a part of and one that honestly scares me. Oh well, I think I'll just take things a day at a time.
