   I think I've grown up too fast. The weight of everything on my shoulders, and me growing up sooner than I have to. It's not easy, but sometimes you have to buck up buttercup and be on your way. The choices, and the heartache, mixed with bills, and depending on nobody but yourself is a scary thing. You deal with things that you wouldn't even know about while you were living with your parents, such as taxes, and insurance. I know I say I can't wait to leave, but it's nice knowing that if I fail, my parents will be right behind me to pick me up. When I'm grown they won't necessarily be right behind me, and that's something I'll miss. I can most definitely depend on myself, and that's one of the things I thank my parents for. They've taught me to work hard, and good things will come to you. They aren't perfect, but they tried their best to raise an independent woman. I'm thankful for both of them.
