Trapped

I. Feel. So. Damn. Trapped.
It's something I think everyone feels. But now I feel it most. I am almost at the end of high school. I'm almost out of my house, but I still have a while before I actually move out to go to university.
I don't know how to deal with this problem on a long term basis but a few of the things I find helpful when the trapped feeling gets especially bad are calling someone I love. I call my boyfriend or my best friend and talk to them, they both always make me happy, but you could try phoning a parent if you live away from them, or a sibling if they live far away, just anyone you love.
The other big help is going for a walk. On the days it gets particularly awful, I'll head outside for some fresh air. Even if it's just around the block a couple times, being outside reminds you that the world is a lot bigger than you and you are in no way trapped.
You may be fixed in one spot temporarily, but that's all it is.
It is temporary.
