I haven't moved to my dorm in college yet, but I'm terrified by the anticipation. It's not so much that I'm gonna miss familiarity, it's more because I know my family and my little sister depended on me a lot. My parents would depend on me to take care of the house while they work full time, and my little sister would always depend on me to be there for her when she needed advice, help on her homework, or simply just wanted to talk about her day. It kills me to know that when she comes home after school, both my parents will be at work and I will be gone, and she will be sitting alone hearing only her thoughts, and it'll be tough on her to be alone like that. I have a hard time trusting that they'll be okay without me. I want to be there with them to make sure they're okay, and to help them whenever they need it, but it kills me to think that I can't be there for them while I'm away. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that I need to know they will be okay, and no matter how many times they tell me that they will be, I still have this feeling that they're gonna be sad and down, and the last thing that I want is my family to be missing me so much. Any advice? Thanks for taking the time to read this!
