I came to USA and started college with 4 of my cousins at the same time, I ended up switching majors twice and completely failing a year because adjusting to life away from home was very hard and I also was dealing with some issues and smoked 2 years away, literally. I was 5 months sober in order to deal with my addiction and I smoke a very controlled amount from time to time now on occasions and my mental health has been doing great. My cousins are graduating in a week time, and I didn’t think much of it before today, After lunch I opened instagram and started scrolling then i stumbled on one of my cousins posts, she had posted some of her graduation pictures and it hit me like a train, I should’ve been graduating too. I understand that everyone has their own path and failing is a part of life but man I feel so sad. Note taken: make the most out of every opportunity provided. But yeah, I just wanted to let it out yk, I hope whoever is reading this on the other side of the screen is doing well<3
