I've been thinking a lot about how this place could be seen as a second chance. I wanted to ask... what would you do with that second chance? I know a lot of people want to find their way home but if you didn't, what then?

I don't think I made any bad choices but I think you're right... to not let a second chance slip away.

Sounds like something you've had on your mind for awhile now.

I've been thinking about it since I arrived. For a few months now.

Things were complicated back home. Everything changed so quickly. Before that I thought I had a set path in life but now, I'm not so sure anymore. I started taking classes here to see what I would like or what I wanted to do. I never got the chance to go to college. But I don't think my life can be normal anymore. As normal as this place is.

I don't know what happened to you at home, but I think that happens to everyone, in some way. Deviating from a set path, I mean. I know I did.

It's good you're trying to better yourself and establish some normalcy. But whatever path you were on before? You don't have to stay there, if that's not what makes you happy. You also don't have to have all the answers now. That'll come with time.

The path I was on before didn't make me happy except for the people who were there with me. I fought for them and the last thing I said to them was awful. I don't want my life to go back to how it was anymore but if it's going to be how it's been then I want those people with me.
