ditto
When I first moved here, I thought my life was over. I spent a long time convincing myself that the friends I had in New Jersey were the best friends I would ever have, that my there house was my only true home, and that the pizza was awful in this state. At first, I never valued the friends I have here or the family that makes my house a home. The pizza still sux tho. Nowadays, I’m glad I left. Every day, I get reminded that the life I have here and the friends I spend time with kick ass harder than those of my old life. I’d rather be driving in my mini van bellowing Bohemian Rhapsody than wearing a size 7x black t-shirt and shorts that go down to my ankles while I smoke cigarettes on Newton’s corner road any day.
