You’re a regular decorated emergency. (And.)

Before reading: I do realize that this seems like I'm overly defending myself and therefore guilty. But really, I'm getting my point across. Agree or disagree, I don't mind.



Well, apparently I'm wasting my life away because I've not gone to school to see what I want to do for the rest of my short life. And I'm not working full time. And I'm living with my grandpa. And I don't drive. And I only pay two bills. And I have no direction(Not true). And I have no clue what I want to do with myself(Not true). And I have no dreams(Not true). And, oh, did I mention that I'm only 20, 21 in July? Yes, I'm far too old to be having any kind of fun before I turn 22, far too old to be living the fun life. Did you know that there are people out there that are about 35 that do what I do every day? They sit on their ass go to work on the weekends then babysit when asked? But of course, I must be a loser because I'm 21 and still haven't gone to college. It's made to sound like I'm lazy, when in all reality, I'm not. I didn't think being 21 would mean that I had to grow up and be 30. Yes, there are people my age that do go to school, that do drive, that do work full time, that do live on their own. But I'm not them, and I'm not throwing anything away. The way I see it, as long as I have plans and I do plan to follow through, it's not hurting anybody if I want to work a little bit and live a semi fun life for just a couple years.

Yeah, I bet there are some people out there reading this and saying to themselves "Savannah, get off your ass and do something." But I don't see why being 21 and working a bit is such a bad thing. I could be pregnant and addicted to drugs. Which, I am not. The only person I have to support is myself. I say I'm doing alright for my age, even if it's not the best I could do. I'll get there. Just let me breathe.
