You do make very strong points with your imagery. I know it sounds strange, and I admit it abnormal, that I actually prefer to exist at this point rather than living. I wait my sentence, see. I hate being a child. What a naive thing to say, yes? I don't like living in my youth. I'd favour adulthood over childhood if I could, any day, but time is something that has to pass. I can see the counter already; make the most of what you have, live young while you can. I find it hard to indulge that, though. I, as it is, am probably one of the younger people on this site, and less experienced. But I believe I have enough experience to know what I think is right, even if it isn't.
I am confident that shutting the world out is wrong, but I do so anyways, locking the feelings I have away, putting on a mask to others' fancy. I do this because I don't like attention, and so I put the problems that would cause bemusement away, such as my withdrawal from sociality. I can say from experience that some answers lead only to more questions. And could you guess, the one thing I want to have right now? Simplicity. I want simplicity in my life because when there is simplicity, there are less questions to ask. You're a sailor, eh? Sounds nice. Simple. I'm sure you could relate. So I'm a bloody caterpillar in its cocoon, waiting to be a butterfly. (Most unoriginal analogy ever) And my parents covet for the caterpillar I so desperately hate.
Is it normal that my parents don't understand that I'm not alone?
