To move and study abroad has been one of my biggest goals since I was about fifteen. Now I have done all of that, but I haven’t been happy ever since I came to Brighton. That’s not me being negative, that’s me facing the facts. The first step to recovery is acknowledging your issues, which I have lately.
In all honesty, I have nothing to be sad about. I have everything I need to live a good life; I have a house to live in, I am educating myself and I have distinction grades, I have family and friends and people that care about me. But still, something is not right.
When I think about it, I don’t know when and why I started feeling this way. Is it a life crisis? Identity crisis? Or is it the 'winter depression’ that most of us face every year? If I knew what was causing me to feel like this, it would be much easier for me to deal with. But I don’t know where to start, and that’s the problem.
Whether or not Brighton has been a good place for me, I have learnt a lot of things since I came here, which I will always be grateful for. I went from being a very homebound and careful girl to facing the real world all by myself and I am still here and I’m still doing alright :)
