When I was 25, I also left home and moved clear across the country. In my case it was San Francisco and I have to admit it was hard at first. I missed home, family, friends and NYC. I loathed SF and all that came with it. I was ready to retreat after 6 months. But...I sort of couldn't. I promised myself that I would now be so hasty. And of course, I had no money to return home or a home to return to since my parents moved into a retirement community months after I left. Hmmmm...did they suspect something?
Anyway, I had no choice but to gave it the old college try and you know what? Things got a lot better. I made friends. I involved myself in activities. I had fun. I claimed SF as my own. And I made the place my home for a better part of 4 years.
Now that I have returned 'home' I still long for the place I once hated so much and thought I would never be able to appreciate. I get excited just thinking about returning to San Francisco and seeing the friends I made, the family I discovered and the places I love. I'm so happy I stuck to my guns all those years ago.
I know, you aren't me...thank your lucky stars for that...but, I just think you need to give this a shot. You wanted it so bad, you can't give up so easily. This was a dream of yours. Treat it like that! Stop focusing so much on the negatives.
Besides, look at this big cheering section you have. It seems like half the gay boys of the tri-state area are rooting for you to succeed! And you will...
