Oy, parents...
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: Wasteland - Augstana
I think parents are ridiculous. Well, mine are. I want/need so bad to explode in their faces. They don't trust me. They don't respect me. They don't understand me. They don't know me. They don't see me as who I am, who I want to be, they see me as who they want me to be. The pressure has built my whole life, and it is coming extremely close to explosion. When they enforce such strict rules, such ridiculous closed-in walls, do they really expect me to sit back? They're not letting me go! I'm not a little child anymore! I'm no longer the small 3-foot child running around oblivious to everything. I'm grown up and want to move on. But how can I when the leash is too tight, too short, and choking me? How do you tell a parent to let go? How do you tell them that their child is no longer their baby, that their child is ready to enter a new stage of life. How do you tell them TO LAY OFF AND LET ME BE! I do love them...but they are making life unbearable. You know the feeling where you need (not want, but actually need) to leave the planet so you can just sit on a star somehwere and SCREAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN! AND GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM! the kind of scream that will open the ears of the largest sleeping beast. The kind of scream, that when you're done, you feel deflated. I need that. I need it bad...
