teenage angst

I'm going to read all day today. It will be my last chance, really. From here on out it's all frantic homework and sleepless nights for nine months. Well at least I'm interested in it all.

I've been thinking about myself. I've never really fit in. I've had a lot of friends always, especially since middle school, but when I am with them there is a disconnection, something in the way. Maybe because I think so much, am so sensitive, and read so much. Maybe because I am afraid of getting close to people. But nobody's really understood me until this year, and most of my friends, though they love me dearly and I love them, seem miles and miles away.

I wonder if I will ever find a place to fit in. I fit in with my debate friends, because they are so smart and think about the things that I think about. I fit in pretty well with my boyfriend for that reason. But where will I possibly fit in the world? And what is so wrong with me that I cannot fit in?

You will fit in, somewhere. It's a big big world out there, bigger than your current environs and circumstances. You will find your place.
