Gold is the easiest to break. It’s bendy and breakable and golden cages are the easiest to break out of. I can’t abide the bullshit people are trying to sell when they say they’re stuck in a situation. Stuck with family. It’s the easiest situation to get out of, but then you’re on your own. You have to get a job and pay rent and be a fucking adult. No one to wash your clothes and give you free meals and buy you DVDs. Half the time you’ll be forced to do things you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Work jobs that drain your soul. You don’t always get to sleep comfortably. And while I’ll be the last to encourage people to grow up, because I’ll be a kid at heart forever, I honestly don’t know how people stand it, being talked down to like a child. I didn’t take it as a child and I’m sure as fuck not taking it now.

Maybe I am privileged to see things this way, I have constant support from my family. At least half of it. And I’m lucky enough to be loved by someone that honestly shares my belief that we can achieve anything. But I’ve always been prepared to give up the support of my family if it means going after something I want. (And chances are once I get there they’ll follow, because families are funny and annoying like that.) The truth is it’s much easier to not know what you want, or convince yourself there’s no way to get it. Half the people I know believe that shit, and most of them would have family support to go after something. But it’s a terrifying thought, giving up all those little comforts we’re used to.

(I may be switching accounts? Kinda? I don't know, I'm trying out DW.)
