Miss Bells

I’ve never talked about it on here but I come from a very well off family. My father worked hard to get my family the education and opportunities he had to go out and get.

Despite this I’ve had my struggles just as we all do. I’m just very fortunate that financial stress is not one of them.

I live in a small beach town. My family lives on the water with a doc and a boat. So you may be surprised to learn that I didn’t want to move here. I was already mostly out of the house and in college when my family made the move. But still I knew I would miss our old house too much and all the memories we made there.

Recently I had to come home. It’s a long story but in short, I’m not going to France anymore and I had to give up my research project about the dollar’s decline. I’m trying to keep the feelings of shame and sadness away because I know this is what is best for me.

Surprisingly I am excited to be at home for the summer, I haven’t felt that way in a while. I don’t want to be alone right now and I even have to sleep in my mom’s room right now. Maybe one day I’ll be ready to talk about it on here-but not now.

I’ve been painting! That’s fun. Making comic strips is a little harder but I’m getting pretty good, plus it’s fun. The first one I did since being back home is called “New Neighbors” named after the two ducks that have been coming to hang out at our pool. They drive my mom crazy because they leave their poop everywhere without a care but I think they’re pretty cute.
