I'm always ready for the next best thing. I'm always ready to move on, move up, and just have new experiences. It seems as if I'm prepared to make bigger decisions, to finally live my life, and just do as I please, but unfortunately, there is always something holding me back.
Time. Place. People.
Whatever it is, I could be so set on doing something, but I'm never allowed to go for it. I wish the world would learn to let me live. My parents, my friends, my teachers, complete strangers - all of them need to learn that this is my life I'm living, and even though I'm just a seventeen year old girl, I have a good head on my shoulders, and I'm sure of everything I want in this moment.
I'm fine with taking risks and chances. I'm eager to be alone and independent. I don't need anyone to rely on. I don't need or want anyone to worry about me. I just wish I could be left to take care of myself for once.
I guess I may sound like the typical teen right now, and what I'm whining about is not at all uncommon, but it's just so frustrating to be treated as someone so fragile and helpless, when I'm pefectly capable of taking care of myself. I can't wait for the day when others besides myself will realize this.
