I am in a transition period in my life. I'm not were I know I'm supposed to be, but I am on the path to it. It feels weird making any plans for right now when I know this wont be the life I'm living next year. That's stopped me from trying to find friends in person since I know i'll be moving out of state next year. Though, I've always been open to online friends. I've been conversing with my 2 favorite penpals now for a little over a year and it's been great. I have so much excitement for the near future, but I'm trying to find a similar excitement in my current day to day life. I've been using this period to gain whatever knowledge I think may be helpful during my next stage in life, but I don't feel that to be enough to truly and fully enjoy life. I'm sure others can relate to this. The biggest challenge is that my current situation is stressful so I find myself repeating "I can't wait until I'm out of here" and I know that's not always healthy. Either way, I'm making due with what I've got. I'm truly trying to make the best of things :)

I feel I have been in a transient state now for about year 1/2 but the paralysis and sense of privilege in certain aspects have kept me stuck. If you're interested, it would be cool to have a dedicated pen pal again. I'm very extra when it comes to letters. Anyway, I wish you a bunch of luck in the new state you find yourself in both physically and metaphorically (:
I can relate to that so much! It's a frustrating state to be in, but because it's better than it's been in the past it feels silly to complain about at times. And absolutely, I'd love to be penpals! Message me and we'll coordinate there
