One Day Later

Although my profile status says "Nico is super sad about leaving my church family, but hiding it well under excitement about going to dinner tonight. Still sad, though- I'm not going to lie to anyone!!", it's going to be awfuly tough to try to be happy about going to dinner tonight with my friends from One West. Many of them already know why I'm sad- as I've had the courage to share my feelings with them; however, not everyone knows- and they might not know.
I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to hide the pain from everyone- the fact that everyone knows me as a normally happy kid- not usually sad about anything. Knowing that it's practically summer vacation- that I will be far away from my church family for quite some time- is not a very pleasant feeling whatsoever. Saying good-bye is something that I really wish I hadn't done yesterday- it made me way too sad.
