I hate being underestimated, yet I love proving people wrong. Whether it be hitting a home-run or opening a jar of jelly after numerous attempts by guys, I'm always down to show my worth. Just because I'm small or because I have a tiny voice doesn't mean I'm lesser than you. Thank you.
Can a girl get a break? All I wanted was to walk to the park to take pictures along the way. It's not even a block away. "There are bad people at the park." -___- Really. That's what you're gonna use against me? Really.
Let alone I can't drive anywhere without having one of the parentals around. I feel really terrible about always having to depend on other people for rides JUST so I can be assured that they won't have to come along. Homie, I am 18 and licensed. Come on. Perhaps they won't let me take the car because they think I'd take advantage of it-- which I'm a bit ashamed to say that I will.
Not that they see me here at home anyway. I'm stuck here inside my room. My parents have been infected with viruses (NOT swine flu, btw. At least, the doctors say so.) & my brother has his projects and homework that my mom will constantly nag him about because of the lazy boy that he is.
Do you know how heartbreaking it is to look at the clear blue sky from my room with my computer saying that it's a cool 72 degrees?! I have been stuck in the same 11x10 ft room all weekend. Mind you, my weekends start on Thursday night. The furthest I've been "out" is to my cousin's house, on the street RIGHT next to ours. For less than 2 hours. We didn't even walk. Apparently our neighborhood is too ghetto and dangerous.
I've ranted a lot this weekend. -________-
I'm kinda sick of myself and my thoughts.
DUDE. story of my life much?! I showed my mom a picture I took last week and she says "where's that at?" I tell her it's at the park and she says "Don't go to the park alone. There's bad people there." wow.
ReplyDeleteand the reason I have such a hard time going anywhere is because my parents don't let me drive anywhere too "far". I drive to school in Fullerton everyday, but if I say I'm going there for any other reason besides school, suddenly it's too far. Hence, going to see Meg & Dia on a SATURDAY is very hard because it's easier for me to get outta the house if I've already been out of the house (because I have school on Friday) and just say I'm hanging out with friends right after school.
oh life. you seem to know mine quite well.
I remember those days well...with my parents not trusting me to do much of anything. Feeling underestimated. I hated it. I had the "beware of park" thing when I was a kid too.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that your parents just want to keep you safe. If you can find the balance between your freedom, and their need to keep you from harm, then you'll have the answer you want!
Meanwhile...get out of your room and enjoy the beautiful day :)
