... A Small Lie ...

So, I'm this college freshman living away from home for the first time, and yeah, it's all super exciting and new. But also, you know how things can get a bit overwhelming? Like, you start feeling homesick or missing your old room and stuff? Well, my mom sent me an email last week asking if I wanted to order pizza for dinner with her over the weekend. And while I'd love that, it's been this weird mix of feelings... On one hand, I want to be independent now and show them that I can take care of myself. On the other hand, there's just something about mom’s homemade pizza that beats anything out here. So I replied saying my roommates were planning on ordering in, but secretly, I've been thinking about it a lot... I'm not sure if it's okay to admit how much I actually miss her, even after all this time of trying to pretend like I don't need anyone anymore...
