Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
I'm 21 years old. I'm an adult, right? But I still care too much about what my parents think! We have always been pretty close but sometimes they can be kind of overbearing and/or controlling. I know it's because they love me so much, but sometimes it just makes me want to scream!
Take yesterday as an example...They came down here to see me get an award from the Writing department (yay me!) and practically the first words out of my mom's mouth was something about how my old high school English teacher wants me to write a story for the newspaper about this dinner theater thing the junior class puts on every year. She basically TOLD him that I would do it without asking me. And I do NOT want to do it for many reasons, including that going back to my high school, even after 3 years, scares the shit out of me because it was not the best time of my life and I sort of still have a crush on this teacher even though he really pisses me off. So I ranted about this to my roomies and they agreed that I shouldn't do it if I don't want to. So I told my mom I didn't want to do it and she talked about how she was so sad that I didn't care about the high school and stuff and it just made me feel SO guilty! I spent all day yesterday feeling miserable about it (ironic, really, since I should've been happy about getting the award!) and parts of today. I STILL feel really guilty, but it doesn't change how I feel.
Sorry this was so long...I guess I just needed to vent a bit more...
