Different Point of Views

This morning I had a little discussion with my brother about freedom and basically what I want from my parents.

I said I wasn’t allowed to do many of the things I wanted to do. A lot of them being things that could make my life easier. His argument was that I am too young, and when he was my age he wasn’t allowed to do those things either. He said I needed to cut them some slack and just take things a little easier. My response to that was that his personality is different than mines. He’s more laid back and isn’t into being surrounded by people and going out all the time. That’s just not him, but if it wasn’t so difficult for me to go out I would be that person. So whether or not he did the things I now want to do doesn’t matter. He kept trying to make me understand what he was saying and giving me examples of other people going through this more freedom thing. In the end I agreed that my feelings about this are partly due to my age. I am young I suppose and at that age that I’m itching to do more. But still, my parents are pretty unreasonable sometimes. I just want a compromise that’s all.

Anyways I came to the understanding that things will get better in time. So for now I’ll gently push them in my direction. I figured I have 3 more years, 5 tops to get my finances in order and maybe get an apartment. That is if things are still not where I want them to be.
