More complaining. -_-;
*Sigh* Seems like almost all I ever do on this site is complain. But at least I can have the satisfaction of knowing you must suffer through my tiresome rants. xD

Don't you just hate it when your parents never support what you like to do? I know I'm not the only one in the world that feels unappreciated by their parents --a great number of us teenagers do-- but I feel as if nothing I do is ever enough to satisfy them.

My mother supports my art and my writing, but not the type of art and writing that I enjoy. My mom thinks that I should lean more towards realism and more "practical" drawings and she thinks I should get into journalism and forget about my silly "fanfiction obsession."

My father, on the other hand, doesn't seem to support any of my interests. He enjoyed my self-portrait I drew for Art class, but that was it. He's never accepted that I want to become a published novelist and he wants me to work in some boring cubicle for some important company.

Today I got the book that my poem was published in and I was all excited because my poem was on the first page, but that excitement was short-lived. As soon as my mom found out she asked "Why did they put your poem in the front?" So now she thinks that Poetry.com did this for everyone that wrote a poem in the book and ordered it so everyone could have their poem in the front of that book. At first I thought the idea was completely moronic, but now it seems my mother even has me doubting that.

Since the beginning, my mother and my father both thought this whole Poetry.Com publishing thing was a huge scam... And I've found that the both of them are making me doubt my own talents and abilities more and more each day. I, by no means, have ever thought I had a special gift for writing or drawing, but I still don't appreciate my parents deflating my ego, especially since there wasn't that much of it to begin with.

I want you to understand, I am fully aware that there are plenty of kids that are worse off than me --some kids are completely ignored by their parents or get no support from thir parents whatsoever-- but that thought doesn't make the pain in my heart hurt any less. Why do parents have to have such high expectations for their children? Why can't they just let us live our own lives and be proud of us for who we are? *Sigh*

Well, I'm done ranting and I'd like to thank any and all of you who read this. ^___^ I feel much better now that I got that off my chest. I've been overly emotional the past few days because of all my final exams, but at least it's almost over. June 9th is my last day! xD *Throws confetti in the air* I promise my next post won't be such a downer. I'll try to stop raining on your parades. xD
