i really do wish i had had your thoughts to think and reflect on in my first year of college. as usual, a more eloquent way of phrasing what i was thinking at the time. much love always!! excited to see how your thoughts will evolve, much as mine have

this is so sweet!! and yes the homesickness! (although i still live at home and i am still in the same area of Maryland). i'm definitely missing a lot of my friends who are now in different parts of Maryland or in other states. introducing myself to new people has been okay like some relationships i've made look like they will last while others were very fleeting/momentary. but i kind of like it a bit and i'm happy to have made it to the new adventure that is college.

i completely understand this! All we can do is hold on to the ones that seem as if they'll last and keep going :)
