Revelations (5)

Posted under: Uncategorized

I’m still young and still growing. I think I’m old enough for some things, but I’m not. It took one drastic hole in the wall to understand why and how I need to grow up.

I’ve always been angry at my parents. If they ever asked me to do something I didn’t like or mentioned something I didn’t want to hear, I’d get a scowl on my face and be cranky the rest of the day or night.

I used to think that I didn’t have enough freedom to do what I wanted, but that’s not entirely true. Sure, I can’t go out as often as I’d like, but honestly, there aren’t very many people I need to see. When they ask me to do something, it’s because they care. The bottom line is: my parents love me and only want the best for me.

I don’t need to be angry anymore. I don’t need to hold onto these teenage ways, to be rebellious and full of angst. I understand that all they want is for me to be happy and for me to establish a strong, independent future. I’m not a true talent in anything really; I’m not that great a web designer, I can’t sing like Mariah Carey, I’m not some genius. I’m an average Joe-ette (female version of “Joe”) and an average like me needs education to fall back on.

Anyway, thought I’d share a bit of what I learned in the last few days. Off to study!
