Melancholy Traveler

Whenever I have to travel alone, I am plunged back into that desperate time when I was so very alone freshman year of college. Even though I know it can't possibly be THAT bad, I still find myself anxious, quiet, and frankly, a tad bit depressed anytime I have to leave that safe warm haven of home. Even since I've learned to mingle and small talk, I don't enjoy playing with others, which always ends up making me feel a bit left out. And I'm so very HAPPY at home; it's always hard to leave somewhere you feel so cherished.
