It's been a while...

It's been so long since I last posted, and a lot has changed since I've moved to London... First of all, I'm not as happy as I thought I would be. I thought being near my boyfriend would make me happy, but it's not the same. I feel like living in London has made me lose the grip of who I am, since I've moved away from home. I just haven't made as many friends as I thought I would have, and the close friend I have made are moving away! They're all moving home.

I feel as though it is my fault, like I didn't try hard enough to put myself out there, make more friends, be more social... but after a couple of racist incidents, it really got me down, like people here made me feel ashamed of my ancestry.

What was nice through was that my boyfriend was there for me, even when I felt like giving up, and he's been helping me emotionally, even financially.

I really feel like moving back to LA, just to live life there. I really miss California, and all the friends I've grown to love.

So much to think about.

One of my favorite movies of all time:

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling happy and out of place. I felt like that when I lived in Germany, and I do think part of the reason is that I became quite introverted. Do try to go out and become friends with more people, and if it doesn't work do what you feel is right for you.
