Phone A Mommy

Mommies,

I am missing home a lot. I am a little scared starting to live on my own and paying my own bills and all. I miss my family back home. I wish I had all you phone a mommies right here to give me big hugs and kisses every night before I go to bed to remind me that everything is going to be alright. I just miss my family and friends back home and it's hard to be away from so many friends that I made.

When you first go out on your own, it isn't easy for some people. I liked the idea pretty much right off when I sat down in the room I rented, but that's just me and another story.

Think about your situation. Do you have a place to stay that is stable? Do you have food and work to sustain you? If you answered yes to those three things, so far, so good.

If you are far from home, that makes things tough. New cities and states have different social rules. If you don't fit in, that can be very rough indeed. I lived in Salt Lake City for four terrible months. They figured me out quick that I wasn't like them, and I was shunned. This is why just four months. I couldn't take it any longer.

Hang in there. Try and make friends, do your best. I wish I could give you a hug.

Aww, honey, it's always scary first time out on your own. But at least you have your brother there with you, so that must make it a little scary! Chin up sweetie, you will do just fine
