Kamryn good for you. It takes some people many years to begin to live for themselves and not for their parents or others. Like I said, at the end of the day, you are the person who has to be able to sleep with your progress in life or not. To where are you thinking of moving? Someplace fun?

I remember the first time my parents dropped me off at school. I wanted to go to the hotel with them and they made me stay. In the beginning I was a little nervous, but I adjusted. Now I actually like it because I feel like I’ve grown and become more independent. 
With me wanting to leave again, I think that they feel that I’m running away from them. But I’m not; I’m running towards my purpose and dreams. I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about what I could be doing and it’s depressing when I think about what I’m doing instead. I don’t feel productive because I’m not even working in my desired field. I have to do something about that.
Eduakator,
You know what is so ironic? LOL! When I’m at school, it seems like we all get along better. I remember looking forward to every form of communication. I don’t think my dad cares one way or another. My weakness is my mom because she’s my heart. I don’t mean to hurt her, because it’s nothing personal. Being the first generation college student may be another reason they feel like it was a slap in the face. Because the first opportunity I have to move out, I move to the other side of the country! LOL, but ultimately, I think that my decision will be better for my career and for my educational goals. After I graduated, my mom set new educational and career goals for herself. She said I inspired her! I think once I actually move, everything will be okay. But as long as I’m here, they’ll be in denial. |
