There is one thing people don’t tell you when you move town: you have the chance to re-imagine yourself into the person you’ve always wanted to be.
You don’t want to be lonely? Don’t. You have the chance to make friends and you can be yourself and they will not care about your past, as long as you are yourself now. Don’t be scared of these people. They’re almost all in the same boat and if they aren’t, well they have been before. They won’t mind that sometimes you slice yourself open in anger, that sometimes you say things you don’t mean and you can’t take them back. Keep that in the back of your mind.
You don’t want to be angry? Don’t. You can finally rid yourself of the walls of bitterness you built up over the years to stop people getting into your head and your bloodstream. You don’t have to put up with the bullshit of your past, the things people said and the wrongs they did to you. You’re not a part of their lives anymore. The people here have not wronged you yet, and chances are they probably won’t. Not in the same way the people in your past did. There is no need to be bitter.
You want to be happy? Do. You have no reason to feel upset and alone anymore. Go drink with the exchange students until your throat burns with vodka and the bitterness that spews from your mouth when you’re finally alone, because it won’t come back once its gone. Go swimming with the kids from the party block and join in their underwater selfies. Spend time with the dork that sings so well you die and watch his favourite anime for hours on end, joking around about shit and talking about how you felt before you came here before you fall asleep on his shitty little single bed. Make friends and relationships that will keep YOU happy.

You want to be the best you that you can be? Do it. You have every chance in the world now.
so i was listening to the songs on un-imagine by hands like houses (particularly No Paralells) and I realised everything I had done since moving here, and I wrote them down. 
i kinda owe one person for getting me back into writing as it has helped me a load, so yeah. cheers A.
