Leaving Santa Cruz, Reflections

This is the first time in my college years that I am actually going to miss Santa Cruz. I've always somehow felt so alone at school, but I have finally found someone that has made me happy, and made a few new close friends. I thought I would never in my life be sad about leaving Santa Cruz. It's always been a place where I've felt alone. I had no friends. I was always depressed. Not living sounded like such a good solution to my problems at the time, but it was a stupid solution. Had I killed myself, I would have missed out on what happened this year. I truly thank who have helped me through these years. I am finally healing from the hurt from 7th grade and my illness. I'm moving on. The people whom I met in group, I thank them for their support. I know I have not completely healed from the traumas I have experience in my life, but I feel that I have taken a huge step forward. However, I know these feelings of loneliness, depression, and suicide won't leave me for a while, but I am able to handle them better. Thank you everyone.
