"I'm sitting in my dorm room really wondering what flavor I am. With everything new around me, I'm starting to question what I am now as opposed to what I was only a month ago...at home. Do I have to know? I feel like maybe to answer the question, I'll say, "today I feel like dark chocolate, yesterday I was confetti, and who knows what I'll be tomorrow." I do know this, I'm really trying to stay true to myself. I'm trying to connect with new people and show them who I am rather than who I think they want me to be. It's been a rockier start than I thought it might be. But I've met a few girls who I think I can really become great friends with. They're not vanilla either! I know I'm on the right track. I just have to take a breath and realize we're all in this together".
Cara, thank you. This is one of my very favorites of all the posts in my blog. You really brought me back to my first days of my freshman year in college. (it's been a while, so good for you!!) You're right. It's so hard to keep your head on straight. I'm proud of you--you are living consciously. You understand that this is a time of limbo. It will all settle and you will make friends that you'll have for years and years to come---that I can promise you. So thank you again for your honesty, and Confetti and Dark Chocolate are two of my favorite flavors! You'll be just fine.
xoxo,
RR
