Okay, idk I feel like I haven't done that enough. I've always had good grades, was one of the weird kids that only went out to play RPG in my first years of high school, want to go to law school like my father, and to their knowledge, I only started drinking at 18.
The problem is they think every little thing I do is ENORMOUS!!! Yesterday, I was going to a supervised festival (It's Saint John's and I'm from a small town so it's a big deal for people around here, like one of the biggest and most expected weeks ever). My friend's mom was going with us (and she works with my mom!), we had VIP area access, and I had a ride home confirmed before 2 AM.
Literally everyone else got to go because it was the perfect circumstances!!!! Seriously, the safest environment I've been invited to in ages. And my mom still didn't let me go because she thought it was too dangerous? Omg.
You guys need to disappoint your parents eventually. Or else, they're always going to expect "better" from you over the most minor things. I usually don't even tell her I'm going out because I assume she'll say no, but this time? I didn't even consider she could say no to this. Not a Mariah Reynolds situation, unfortunately. đ

iâll be 27 soon and still living at home because itâs expensive to breath at the moment. im grateful to have a mom that didnât kick me out at 18 and helps me out so much, but i grew up really sheltered and sheâs only loosened up fairly recently as my younger siblings get older. she very much had (has? idk) issue with seeing me as a teenager and not an adult. she was weird about me drinking, weird about dating, even weird about me using tampons for a while...she meant well but i think as her oldest it was hard for her to accept me growing up.
i used to dye my hair crazy colors and i finally got her to be like ok but no bleach and i said ok knowing full well i needed bleach. so i just used bleach. after years of me dying my hair she finally found out when i stopped dyeing. by that time it was too late to say anything. i wouldnt tell her the full truth about where i was going and what i was doing until way after i made it home in one piece. within reason though bc genuinely i wanted to respect her and the roof she helps keep over my head!
if sheâs like âoh that shirt is very croppedâ im just like âyes and i bought it.â little things like that. as long as im not a freeloader i dont see the issue with respecting my autonomy.
anyways my mom is very much not the kind to talk back to but if i could slowly push a limit, i would. you gotta let adulthood take the reign and they will have to just deal. it sounds harsh but also not nearly as scary as it seems.

Sorry mom but Iâm not forgetting how you talked me out of going to school where I wanted to without visiting the campus. I do not in fact trust your judgement so this visit will be on my own

She just told me that I feel like a stranger to her.... Like girl, did you ever even try to understand me?

Feel!!! Show people that feeling, tell them how much you enjoyed spending time with them, tell them their hair looks nice, laugh out loud, cry in public and stop caring about this nonchalant bullshit. Numb is not in!!! There will be a time where you can't feel but that time will also pass.

Okay, quick disclaimer: I know most art is political (firm believer here!), but I'm talking enjoyment-first right now. That said, I absolutely encourage consuming things with different viewpoints from yours! If I'm watching a political documentary I hate, I'll probably keep going because the goal is education, not instant enjoyment.
But a show I just find... bad? Why waste precious time forcing myself through something purely unenjoyable when the whole point is to relax or be entertained? Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who drops a show after hating the pilot â it needs an opportunity to prove itself for a few episodes! Luckily, I just tend to really enjoy what I'm watching once I get past that haha.

Literally one of my favorite activities.
I love ranking movies, rock genres, hangout spots, chocolate, flirting one-liners... all of it. Itâs obsessive and weirdly satisfying.
Like it so much that TierMaker isnât enough, I handwrite tier lists in my diary like a medieval scribe with opinions.
I present to you guys my official chocolate tier list, crafted yesterday while suffering through truly awful free chocolate.
