Day 20 - The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Just sent mum off at the airport.
I'm so glad she came and saw the place where I stay and met the people I hang out with.

Last night I was so afraid to be alone (well not alone, but without anyone from home) again but today I realised that everthing would be fine.
For the first time I feel freedom and independence while maintaining a lot of common sense and knowing when to humbly admit that there are times when I shouldn't be alone or that I shouldn't be afraid to ask for help.

I've learnt more in these past few weeks than I have in my whole life.
And I feel like I'm ready to deal with whatever life throws at me.
Of course, with a little help from my friends and the grace of God.

Met some important people last night.
More details when things are confirmed.

Don't have to live out of my pack anymore!
