Message in a bottle

To the person who finds this bottle: I’m so glad that you have found my message.

My name is [NAVN A]. I live on [ADRESSE 1]. I’m seventeen years old and just graduated from high school. My mom and dad are divorced, so I have lived alone with my mother since I was five. I no longer have any contact with my dad. My mom thinks he has a bad influence on me, but she has never told me why.

I have not yet decided which college I’m going to, there are so many options. I have looked at a few, but no one has caught me. Something is missing, and I’m trying to figure out what. I never had a lot of friends, and the ones I once had are not going to college, so I hope that college would give me more friendships. My mom doesn’t really care about, what college I choose. She does not want me, to leave in the first place. I talk a lot with my grandmother, sometimes we walk long strays. We talk about all sorts of things, both large and small things in life. My grandmother is really supportive about me going to college. I think it’s because she’s tired of listening to all my nonsense, but I cannot blame her. I am a confused teen. I just think it’s hard to plan your future, when it looks like you are going to be all on your own. I do not know if it’s, because I’m lonely. Some people would call me a loner and I probably are one, but what can I do? I’m not a people’s person. I’m shy and afraid to be myself.
