Hey sunshine! I’m sorry your current situation is such that you have to keep who you are a secret, HOWEVER! College is a beautiful place full of lots of new opportunities and open-minded people who will love you for who you are. My best advice is to be open to the possibilities and know that the friends you make your first week of college are prooobably not the ones you’re going to keep throughout.

[It’s human nature to just sort of … grAB ON to the nearest person when you’re in an unfamiliar situation, and you’ll all get to bond over like WOW, COLLEGE, NEW THINGS, NEW PLACE and then you’ll realize you have virtually nothing in common. That’s okay! They’re there for transitory support and still important, even if you don’t stay in contact]

Don’t worry. You’ve got a great attitude about the whole thing. The supportive environment will follow. It’s on it’s way. You just have to get there.
