..I am not a baby anymore..

I hate it when I am already nearly 22, and still get scolded like a 15 year old teenie. I mean if she doesn't even have respect for me, how can she then expect respect from me?

Respect, like love and trust have to be earned. But to first gain respect, you have got to give respect. It is a two-way street.

Darn.. I hate the anger that I feel is welling up in me now. Really need my "clown" to cheer me up and put the smile back on my face.

Every single thing, she criticises. I mean what the... is her problem?!! I am friggin annoyed!! What is wrong with the way I walk, the way I dress, the way I behave? Seriously.. you reckon that I am such an awful person? Do you want me to be a carbon copy of you? Thanks, but no thanks.. I'll just pass.

I know that I am not perfect. But I know that as long as my heart is placed firmly on God, other things can just fade away and disappear. I also know that my parents are not perfect either.. but I can never fault their parenting. I love my mom heaps.. and she has become my best friend and confidante.

I know that you love me too... and that you reckon that whatever you say is right. I respect that view point. But i do not think that it is the only right way to do things... so do not try to contain my individuality. Personally I like the way I dress and so far, no one else have a problem with it. I do not wish to age before my time, nor do I wish to hide behind a facade that is not me.
