Revelations

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! 
Here are (some) of the birthday things: (I heard there’s more coming? *shrugs*)
Red roses from boyfriend & pink rose from friend.
Chevy’s hat. :cute::cute:
Coach bag from old best friend.
Web layout from best buddy, found here. 
All in all, I had fun. Small group, yes, but I don’t expect much.

Heyy. I’m glad you’ve sorted our your feelings about your parents. My parents are quite restrictive too, in certain ways, but like you - I realize that they really just want the best for me. So I believe them.
It looks like your birthday gifts were awesome.

Those are some great gifts though, so sweet. And wow you’ve really got some maturing done in the past week there. I’m glad to hear you’re more content with things now. Life’s hard, and parents are too strict sometimes. I think once you start feeling like they are on yoru side, things should get better. So much about life is attitude. Really though, it’s us average people who are most important, cause we are the ones the world is built upon. The extra cool people, there are too few of them. But we’re the majority and we make the world keep on turning. So yay to us Joettes

Aww that was a really nice quote and I think something that we can all learn from. You sound very mature and it’s great to see that you know that people around you care - even though sometimes it’s like they don’t.
