I have two separate Instagram accounts: one where I pretend to be effortlessly cool, fun, artsy and have my life together, and one where I’m supposed to be unfiltered, unbothered and free. And yet, here I am — filtering and bothering.
I’m worried that something similar might happen when I return from college. Instead of feeling comfortable and relieved, I’ll feel unfamiliar and awkward, like I’m staying at a friend’s house for a week before I return to Boston. I’ve often heard sayings such as “home is where the heart is,” but how am I supposed to call this new place “home” without the proper time to love it?

Following the start of spring last month and the return of warmer temperatures, flowers have begun to bloom throughout Boston.
I have a feeling there’s a lot of excessive guilt going around during this time, so I encourage you to take care of yourself and take care of your friends. We all have made countless mistakes, but we'll always have an “afterward” to act on.
