Do I want to be all
my life engaged to my parents? No, I don’t. What’s more, I don’t think any
teenager wants to live his life according to his parents. We might believe that
living with our parents is easier since we don’t pay any bills or clean the
house, but the truth is that you won’t start truly living your life until you
get your freedom, including doing things on your own, getting responsibilities
and obligations in order to challenge yourself.
I have been buzzing
to leave home for a long time, I feel I need it very much. I’ve been wondering
how it is going to be, what about college? Will I get to know many people?
Where am I going to live? Will I feel lonely? However, even if I’m a little
scared i know it’s a big step forward in my life. On the last few years
everything has appeared to be exactly the opposite of what I always imagined,
and you know, after all, it has turned out to be the best for me. Now I know
more about myself, of who I am, about my feelings. Now I’m able to identify
love, anger, hapiness... and my expectations for next year are to get to know
whatever I’m still hiding inside, and finally have a life on my own. I want to
encourage people to do it since we won’t have another opportunity as good as
this one. It’s time to get mad, crazy and find out what we want and how we want
our lives to be.
Although finally
getting our freedom can tempt us to do nothing, as well as having fun we will
need to be responsible and get obligations because that’s a big part of being
an adult. Despite many of you would prefer to avoid this word, “adult”, you are
adults now, so you have to act according to it.
