accept my family and not let them get to me so much

Where do I start? I my family gets to me so much that i think its affecting the person i am today… They need to accept me for who i am and stop bi*ching!

Well, college is coming.
I am no longer ashamed of my life on the internet.
I think that my family needs to see the provocative photos and outrageous remarks to really get a feel for who I am in the public light.
When I do get out there and start a career, it’s not going to be all My Little Pony and newborn kittens.
So I’m easing them into it, real slow.
I have so much respect for myself now.
I don’t stretch the truth to make my father happy, I can actually tell him what I want out of life. He knows I want to do film and clothing
and while he may not know about the music yet,
again, I am easing him into it.
I am getting the apartment that I want, not the cheapest one because he wants it that way.
And Randi. I am so happy that she is following her own path.
And Jackie. I see that she does all of the bad things because of my dad. And I know now that the thing about girls choosing guys that act like their dads is not true. Because I don’t ever want to be ignored like that for a TV show.

But.
I respect them all now, and I know that it’s okay to leave this behind and want to come back. Or not come back, or even change things. I don’t ever have to be the same person to them for fear of obligation.

I now have my own permission to grow as a person. :]
