I am currently living out on a farm kilometres away from everything, and I haven’t seen many of my friends in over six months. I was supposed to start uni this year, but life happened, and I have been forced to stay home. I never see anyone other than my family, and even then, they are always out working. I’ve tried really hard to get a job and something to do, but I cannot find anything that will take me, a chronically ill teenager with pretty much no life experience. I just feel so isolated from everything, and so lonely. Honestly though, this isn’t a new experience. I’ve felt like that since I started primary school. I just feel like I never fit in anywhere, and just so alone. I miss my friends, and I just want to leave my house, and do something for a change, with my friends.
