Parents!!!!!!

1 Parents (n): a father or a mother
2 Parents (n): the chains around your ankles until you've managed to a) runaway b) obtain a stable job and stable income c) die d) turn 18.

Hmm, sometimes it seems like definition number 2 sounds more like our parents, doesn't it? They're the metaphorical CHAINS around our ankles! But really, where would we be without parents? Oh! Most definitely non-existent. And have you ever realized that the people who don't have parents or have only one parent always want parents that other kids who do have parents take for granted? Ha ha, did you get all that?

I feel like I've grown up a little bit (I'd like to say) and I usually do a good job of seeing the world through the eyes of other people, trying to understand how they think. And believe me, if I was a parent, I'd probably be just as bad as my own.

The apple never falls far from the tree says many, and I kind of believe that. People grow up trying hard not to be like their parents, and they succeed for the most part, until they have kids. Then comes the discipline you promised you'd never use, or the stress and pressure you swore you'd never put on your kids, but it's inevitable! And besides, parents are just another part of life. Sometimes they are really, really selfish and try to use your life to live out their own dreams regardless of yours, or they try and push you (maybe too hard or too little) into the "right direction"...wherever that is. But in the end, you'll miss them. (Though I'm really sorry for those people who have really bad parents. And no, I don't mean Asian parents.)

Either way, thank your parents for your birth and for giving you life, then just walk away. You put up with your parents for at least twenty-so years, and then you'll have the rest of your life to live on your own! Well, at least when you get out of the house. I mean, you can always screen their calls when you know they're angry. Just make sure to move far away. ;]

So don't give up on life! Because, before you know it, you'll be living life the way you think it should be lived. Besides, what do we really know about how life should be lived at this age? Just be patient.

Poem of the Day:
Lost - Dan Brown

Lost in a world, that scares me to death,
Lost in a crowd, I'm losing my breath.
Lost as a boy, lost as a man,
I need to grow up, don't think I can.

Lost as a person, can't find my way.
Lost in life, every day.
Lost in worry, who am I?
All my life, I've lived a lie.

Lost to kindness, lost to love,
Lost in a sky, like a new-born dove.
Lost in thought, which I shouldn't do,
It winds me up, I can’t get through.

Lost to comfort, all kind words,
Lost to advice, it isn't heard.
Lost to those who really care,
All these people, always there.

Lost in me, I need a break,
Lost in wonder, which road to take?
Lost in a place I don't know well,
Where are you now? There's no one to tell.

Lost here, all alone,
Lost apart from the mobile phone.
Lost still, there are no calls.
I'm struggling alone, to break these walls.

Lost in mind, lost in soul,
Lost memories, they're just a hole.
Lost family, lost mate,
Gone now, yet I'm full of hate.

Lost in a straight world, and I am gay,
Lost now, for what to say,
Lost in boredom, think I'll leave.
There's a lot in life I need to achieve.
