I'm Going to California!

Oh my god!

My best friend's father, Mark, is buying me a plane ticket to go back home to California, where I grew up! I'm going at the end of June!

I'm so excited! Yay!

He's the best male figure in my life. I just adore him, and he's been helping me since I was a teenager. He tutored me in math, and he watched Lost with me every week when my life started falling apart. He bought my plane ticket to California for my 21st birthday as well.

No, it's not a sexual or romantic relationship. He's like the father that I've always wanted. My own real dad abused me and abandoned me.

I'm so happy!
