The Friend Who Stayed Behind

from Perfectly Imperfect Me 365 · host Rachel Blogg

What happens when you’re the friend who stays home while everyone else leaves for college? This episode dives into the quiet heartbreak of watching your best friends live out their “college dream” while you’re still in your childhood bedroom. We’ll talk about the grief no one acknowledges, the loneliness of feeling left behind, and why staying home doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. If you’ve ever scrolled through your friends’ highlight reels and wondered, “Am I missing out on life?”—this one’s for you.
