Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed by the masses.

You want me to grow up but I'm not allowed to act my age. You want me to get out the house but when I ask you never have time or money. These things I'm okay with. I've learned to live with it. But when I am asked to live my life the way I want to live it and I am constatnly criticized and question my choices, I am hurt. You say you respect my choices yet I can't even pick my own pair of glasses withiut being questioned. I can't wear what I want to wear without being criticized and if we keep going down this path then I will never be who I want to be.
