I’m beginning to think that, really now, ninety-percent of what other people have to say to me these days? Are warnings.

How boring.

Obviously I can take care of myself, otherwise totally wouldn’t have lived this far, but if it’s not warnings about boys wanting dad’s money, or wanting me--as if, I have class, work for it people-it's warning me

I'm still alive, aren't I? To me that means there's plenty of safety being followed! Not all of us have to be sticks in the mud to keep on surviving.

[blossoming_gold]

Nooo, you've got it wrong. I'm perfectly fine with being safe. What I'm not perfectly fine about is everyone thinking that doom and glooming about it is totally the only way to be.

I am tempted to share your father's concern for your wellbeing, child.

What's wrong with not needing warnings? I get it.

(And you're probably my dad's new favorite person, just for that, which is, well, wow depressing.)

[tribal_lotus]

Perhaps they are just worried for you.

Do you really want creative warnings? Seems like dying in a back alley would be good enough for me.

[blossoming_gold]

Maaaybe so? But, seriously, same thing over and over and over is totally annoying. And some of these warnings? Totally come from people I don't know well enough for them to worry about me.

You try hearing it for years first. Creative is way better.

[tribal_lotus]

People can worry about other people without knowing them at all, if they have any sense of compassion.

Seems like you will do what ever you want regardless of how creative the warnings are...

So you're saying ever dire thing ever said to me is someone worrying about me from the goodness of their hearts?

I neither confirm or deny that! But let's see, my nefarious schemes tend to revolve around, hm, let's see, 'shopping', 'shopping', and oh look, more 'shopping'! So what if I do it in areas that are a little more dangerous than mine? I haven't died yet, clearly I'm doing something right.
