In my family I am always been taught to just seek out what I am doing wrong. At a young age my mother asked who wanted to help her clean the house, being younger and always wanting to do things with your mother I volunteered. Even back then she used to yell at me and get frustrated because I wasn't doing things right, I was five.
I've grown up in an enviroment where I'm not told, "your pretty," I'm told, "Well you would be pretty if.." Never told I'm smart, only told, "Well you should try harder" any and all accomplishments I've ever made are just another day to my family. I guess I have never been enough. Everyday my mother comes home she already sees something in me that she has to fix, for once I want to be good enough.
But does it really matter to me? No its sad, knowning that when I leave this home I am probably never going to come back, not even because I don't want to but I can't, I can't help but just feel horrible every single minute that I am in this place. I used to cry in private, but now I don't even care, I'll cry openly in front of my family, not that they care, they just call me dramatic, they sigh and say, "Here she goes again. . ."
But you know what is the worst thing about all of this? The fact that there are families far worse beyond mine, yet I have the nerve to pity myself, which just makes me feel worse about everything that I am doing, trying to balance it all out is the worse possible solution, so I guess I will have to drown in my own thoughts until someone, anyone, drags me out to shore, probably just to leave me there, because they don't care either.
#17 I am thankful for age, even though as I get older I will probably regret saying this, imagine if everyone just stayed the same age forever? Imagine being fifteen forever? Needless to say that the government is run, by a bunch of idiots now, but what if they were all just fifteen, too young for those kinds of responsibility, there would be no birthdays, and no legal age to drink. Age is what life's way of telling you to move on from one phase to another. I don't think that I would be able to without someone there pushing me, showing me the way, although age is mostly physical and "but a number" I feel like it helps people reminisce of a life before, how could we have memories if they were all at the same time so to say, how would I move out if I stayed fifteen forever?
