I moved not too long ago. And because I'm terrible at staying in contact with people, I can almost feel everything that I'd built in the seven years I lived in my old town--all my friends, accomplishments, everything--slipping away, like none of it will ever matter.

Because I can't afford college, I don't go. I don't go out to places because I'm tired from work. I'm afraid of talking to people face to face because what if I'm boring? What if other people don't want to talk to me? It feels more and more like the truth every day.

I just want people to acknowledge my existence. I want people to be happy that I'm around. I want to feel like I matter to someone.

I just want to make an impact on this world.
