hard to say goodbye?

So for most of today I have been crying. I'm leaving my home state and going to Florida, should be happy right? Nahh, because nobody is happy for me. People are telling me that what I'm doing is stupid and whatnot. It might be stupid, but it's my decision. It's not even like I'm going to be down there by myself. Just because you don't understand my decision, doesn't mean that I'm wrong or that I'm a follower. I have always wanted to leave, but you were fooled by the mask that I chose to wear just to keep things peaceful. If you would have even actually talked to me instead of at me you would know that I was unhappy and how unhappy I actually was. I might be going down there blind (not literally) or whatever, but my goal is still the same even though I'm somewhere else. If I stay here, there's no telling how long I'll be able to keep my sanity. It hurts to see you cry over something I've done, but I have to get away from this situation, and you. Let me make my mistakes that I'm sure I'm going to make so that I can learn from them on my own. I'm hardheaded and I have to do things for myself. Again, the tears hurt me, but this is just something I have to do.

Love, Sherita
