Dreams of Freedom

  Did you know that you can be emancipated from you're parents at age 16? Now I know this is a weird blog opening, b ut this whole idea popped into my head while I was away on a family vacation. Some vacation if you're thinking about being emancipated! lol 
  For those of you who don't know what emancipation means:  "Emancipation" is a legal process that gives a teenager who is 16 or older legal independence from his or her parents or guardians. Basically you are flying away from the nest a bit ahead of schedule.
  Oh how I want to be away from my parents! I feel so trapped and suffocated. My father has to do everything by himself because if he doesn't do it it will be done wrong. There is only way in his mind--his way. If you knew me then you would know that I don't follow blindly like some silly sheep. I question everything and have a tendency to be very sarcastic. I actually have quite a mean streak. I think it's my defense mechanism against all the teasing I've endured from my family during my pitifully short existence. I should really work on being nicer. I don't want to end up like my persecutors--emotionless, unsympathetic jerks.
  That's one of my biggest fears; that'll become what I hate. Already I feel as if I'm doing just that. It's quite scary. But how can you be pleasant when you're surrounded by hate and negativity? It just baffles me. To be loving and nice to the people who hurt you seems like living a lie.
  That's why I want to get away; so I won't morph into what I despise. Emancipation seems highly impossible though, unless I want to screw up my life even more by not being able to go to college because I have to pay my bills and all that other shit I'd have to take care of myself. No I'll just have to bide my time and try to play nice. Only 3 more years and I'll be able to walk out of the door and call all the shots. Hopefully I will stay sane until that day.
