i like to think that we're still children, and that although we live on our own, we're still guided by our parents. when i feel alone, i always take comfort in knowing that there's a home filled with people i can return to. as a 19 year old, i couldn't start a new life on my own in a foreign place with an instable career, and make nice with acquaintances who i'd never trust enough to consider as friends. you couldn't pay me any amount of money or give me any amount of rewards to leave my home and my family behind for so long - but i guess i'm not everyone.
