I’m homesick

I’m happy here but I also want to go back I miss my coping mechanisms and living in a small town is hard for me since I don’t have any of my coping mechanisms here and I’m not sure what to do for that. I don’t necessarily want to move back to my home town because of trauma but I don’t think I could stay here long term.

Any tips on how to work through this?

I really love it here!! I’m just super anxious.

Can we bring back the 80s?
Heck 80s to the early 00s would be ok but closer to the 80s. I’m homesick for a time that no longer exists #vintage80s #80saesthetic #bringbackthe80s
