of being held back and told what to do and treated like I’m too dumb to make my own decisions. I’m in this alone. I’ve always been alone. When I make mistakes, I alone suffer the consequences. If I think the consequences are worth it or not even there, then why should you try and stop me from doing what I want? I’m tired of acting like an ungrateful brat, but I’m tired of being told what to do. I’ve always been independent enough to handle my own. I don’t need anyone to “protect” me from everyday struggles. I’m stronger than I look and I am the furthest thing from afraid.
