Day Twenty-Four

Day 24- A letter to your parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

College is going great! I really am enjoying it here, and I'm so thankful that you were willing to let me move across the country to come here, because I'm seriously and honestly happier here than I would have been back home. Also thank you so much for supporting me when I'm making choices that are driven more by passion than by money. I know you want me to be successful, but you guys have allowed me to define success for myself, and that means a lot to me.
This summer sucked. I'm still slightly bitter. I'm getting better, but I'm still confused why all of a sudden my existence stopped mattering. I don't blame you guys entirely for the whole suckiness of the summer, but it would have been really nice to know that you guys actually did care. It was partially my fault too though, I expected a lot more than I should have from this summer. Wishful thinking, it's going to be the death of me.
I'm not sure how this Christmas will be. I hope I'll have worked through all of this crap by the time Christmas rolls around, but I make no guarantees. I'm sorry that I don't generally forgive and forget easily. I've been trying, but my mind doesn't generally forget a lot of things I wish it would. That stuff just eats away at me, and I won't let it go. Sorry.

Love you, but still struggling,
Zelos
