The Trouble with Who I Am

Post Reply New Topic

I have a problem with who I am. I just turned 18 less than a month ago. I now have a direction for my life that I want to live. The trouble is how can I live this life when I want to have my parents' approval? What I want to do I don't think they would ever approve of. It's all legal. I still live at home. I will probably live there for a long time. Probably the least serious of the things I want is a tattoo or tattoos. I don't think they can imagine me getting tattooed. But I want to get tattooed. Then, I was just offered a job today. The pay would be good. The problem is that it is an adult night club. I don't they would approve me working there, especially not with the job I was offered. The place doesn't serve alcohol so it's not like there would be a bunch of drunks around. And probably the most serious thing is who I want to date. I'm sure they would be totally against it, or at least highly disappointed in me. Also there is a matter of college. They want me to goto college. I don't want to. There's also meds for my coping in life. I didn't like how they made me feel so I quit taking them. I think they must know I don't take those because we've never gotten that prescription refilled. Basically it's just too difficult for me to approach them about my wants. These things are very uncomfortable for me to talk to them about. I just wanted to mention these things.
