I can't hardly believe it! I'm finally free! After 18 long grueling years of being locked up in my parent's fortress of rules, I'm bursting with excitement as I prepare to move all the way to New York for college which is on the other side of the country. No more constant surveillance and helicopter parenting. 

It's hard to explain how suffocating it felt to live with them. They were always there, peering over my shoulder, enforcing their strict ass rules. No dating until I'd worked two years after graduating is such a stupid ass rule like seriously? As if I would just sit around waiting like that! I've spent the past couple of years talking to strangers online (by the way this is strictly forbidden but who cares). But most of those conversations ended in silence or they just "wanted to have the only kind of fun that happens is chat rooms" (if ykyk). They all just ghosted me and it hurt. I never lost hope though. I just figured maybe I'd find someone someday. Or maybe I'd just delete my socials and disappear.

Now, I'm moving to New York. As I look around the room I have lived in my whole life for the last time, I can't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia. My walls are filled with pictures of my baby self, anime posters, plushies, and other decorations.

With one last glance, I turn to face a new chapter of my life. I have no idea what awaits me in New York, but I'm ready to start exploring. No more rules, no more fear. Just the thrill of possibly finding out who I really am.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll find love along the way or at least a few good friends. I finally get to be myself, explore, make mistakes, and finally live life on my own terms. I take a deep breath, stepping out into the unknown and it feels like I just started my journey in life.
