This is what my dad said to me tonight:
"You may as well stop wasting your time waiting and looking forward to moving out. Even after you move out and start this better life you think is coming to you, everyday will still be horrible and all you will do is work and worry about bills and even then, when you've seperated yourself from all the negative people surrounding you now, you will still have not one person that gives a shit about you. Stop trying and prepare for a life just as shitty as everyday is now."
I used to give my best effort in everything I did so that I impressed my parents. I strived in school, volleyball, and I even did my best to bring home as many nice friends as I could. Principal's list, City Championships, and a handful of respectable friends, and not once have I made them proud.
Now I'm learning to strive for myself. I can't wait to prove everyone wrong.
