Rant!
im getting to the stage where im coming to the end of my very sheltered and childish lifestyle and i seem to be the only one accepting the change and handling it well. im currently sat in my flat of my third work placement really enjoying the time and space even if the social side is really rubbish.
aside from me, because in my life my opinion obviously dosent matter, everyone else still wants to make decisions for me, telling me what stage in my life im going to do this that and the other. it seems that between the people close to me, theyve got everything worked out, where im going to live next, what year im getting married, etc. everything seems to be sorted as far as my future is concered. what i want to know is that am i allowed to have a say in this?
what ever happened to college days and doing what the hell i liked? not that i was reckless but the future was still unknown back then, it was scary but it was great. at least i had more control then, than i do now. everythings going far to fast, ist like i can see my life in 5 years time - nothing else left to aim for because everything else has been decided already. so what now? where do i go from here? there will be nothing left for me apart from marriage and a full time job. i know its the same for most people but at least they have hope and prospects. mine seemed to have got lost along the way or cast aside by those that try to control me.
if i was a better person i would stand up and say no, dont run my life. but the truth is i know they have my best interests at heart and i cant say anything to hurt them. i just wish they'd let me go before i let go of my life
