Fidgety

I’m 19 years old but sometimes I feel like a 12 year old. I whine about all the things I can’t do. All the rights I’m not given, and how unfair my life is. How I’m missing out on my good years and how I should have dormed.

Well…my parents aren’t to blame for any of that. If I want to be treated like an adult I need to act like one. I need to speak my mind and take initiative.

This past week I made up my mind to get my room re-done. My parents kept stalling and making excuses. So I saved up my money and got to work. I also decided on setting up driving lessons. My dad is supposed to help me but that’s been a major fail so far so I’m paying for my lessons and hopefully getting my license before the fall semester gets too heavy. Although these are minor things, I believe it’s a step up from what I’ve been doing up to now.

There are things I’ll want to do that my parents won’t agree with, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are wrong. I just need to make a case for it and then just do it.

Every step matters, even if it’s a small one.
