I can also relate to this secret a lot because I was searching for happiness for a long time. Leaving for school was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I am so close with my family that a long time after I left I regretted my decision to leave. I was so miserable and heart broken being away from home. I blamed my location, the people around me, anything to not take responsibility for myself. Then one day I decided that enough was enough. Either I was going to make positive changes in my situation or I was going to transfer to a school closer to home. After multiple journal entries and two years of contemplation I decided to let down my guard and enjoy myself. This semester is the happiest I have been since I graduated high school in 2007. It took some time but I finally figured out that I had control of my life and my happiness the entire time. I'm not keeping up as many walls and I am putting myself out there more and more each day. I am so thankful for this realization and I cannot be grateful enough for this change. I can finally, honestly say that I am happy.
