I find it rather odd...

That I'm growing up. Being independent. All I really need now a days is my family. I know it might be weird that a 17 year old girl is saying that, at this stage in life I should probably hate my parents and want to move out. But alas, I don't. But what I honestly find strange is the fact that I don't need to depend on anyone anymore. Maybe it's because certain people don't seem to care and I adapted to it. Or maybe it's because I've found out that being solo is an okay thing. I've found a lot about myself being solo (as in no real relationship, and no close friendships) like for example, I'm not as sad as I used to be. But that could have changed over time.... Hmm, well I've found out that I can stand on my own two feet. I can take responsibility for my own actions. And I can be who ever I want to be. Not what someone else wants me to be. Which is great, but very frustrating at the same time. Only cause you actually have to go through the journey on your own and not define yourself as any person but yourself. Because I used to say that I was a mixture of people, thoughts, experiences, ideas, and cultures. But that might not be so true. I'm just one person with beliefs that have come through a mixture of people, thoughts, experiences, ideas, and cultures. But I'm still just one person. Maria. :)
