Today I feel very lonely I miss my parents, my sister and my old life. I feel like if I don't find a friend or a proper place here by Christmas I might just go back. I hope I find my reason soon Im on the verge of falling into another depression... god help me...
So I know it may seem awkward or nerdy or pointless or exhausting but... volunteer! Do it on the weekends, alone or with a friend, when you're in a good mood or a bad one, just do it at least twice in the next year. Most organizations have websites that tell you about events going on wherever you live. Personally, by helping an animal rescue group, people with disabilities, and by holding strangers' hands while they gave blood, I found out what I want out of life, what I truly enjoy doing, and overall who I am. At first I felt like I didn't belong there and like I was just getting in the way, but really most charitable organizations don't expect you to be good at whatever you are doing the first couple of times because they are accustomed to random people who volunteer for a day and then disappear.
