We all go through life like a leaf in the wind (thanks Forrest Gump), and we all have to recognize when a new chapter is starting and an old one closing. It takes strength to face that change, and to recognize that we two must change accordingly.
I used to be a spoiled kid, living in a dream world provided by my parents (or more specifically, my mom). I have graduated to adult, living in the mental health system and below the poverty line. At least I can somehow form my identity around blogging, which I enjoy.
But the thing is, I have escaped whatever life I had before and am embracing the new one. I have freed myself from servitude and the chains of being an adult child and now have something of a life in this new and strange system. I have been blessed to have someone navigate this life with me, and we can share our experiences.
I just don't relate to people outside of this life, the "normies" as they're sometimes somewhat derogatorily called. It has taken a while but I have been able to embrace my moments of solitude and cherished the moments when I'm with someone I like, love, or admire.
