It's not really "parents"
2 years ago
It’s more “parent.” My mom loves me unconditionally. I think she would still support me and care about me if I did something really horrible.
I feel like, my whole life, I have worked on getting my dad to feel that way about me. I know he loves me, but… if I wasn’t his daughter, he would have nothing to do with me. I am one of “those people” to him. I have wanted his acceptance and to make him proud, but nothing works.
But that’s no way to live. That’s no way to find happiness. I need to be able to make myself proud. And I do. And I need to take the time to realize that, even if my dad isn’t proud, I’ve made the choices in my life to take me where I want to be, not where he wants me to be.
Amazing.

Hobex is the best band for this. You must go see Hobex.
Leftover Salmon concert. Danced with glee for 4 hours straight. Left sweaty, sticky, and exhausted. Mmmmm.
