Frustrated

Its so much harder being home than I anticipated. I expected difficult questions and attempts at dissuasion from my parents, but I didn't realize I would be getting it from all my relatives. It hurts to have those I love most being un-supportive of something I feel so passionately about. Worst of all its had me questioning my decisions and feeling unsure of myself and my own beliefs. I've worked so hard to establish my own identity and its somewhat comforting to know that I'm still able to maintain it when being challenged from so many different perspectives.

While I've resolved most of my own insecurities and feel better now, the frustration and the circular conversations aren't something that will go away - at least not until I return this summer in one piece and prove my family's beliefs wrong.

Now all I have to do is finally get matched...
