Im sick of getting bitched at for my preferences by family
Im 24 in 4days, yet my family still treats me as if im 12 when it comes to me making my own decisions in line with what i want for myself.
I grew up in the city, all of my family lives in the city, but i hate living in the city, so i moved to a farm town not all that far from the city. Ever since i did that, its been nothing but bitching, whining and empty threats if i dont do as they say and move back to a place i hate.
Theyve never set foot here yet apparently theyre experts and know exactly how i feel. According to them im depressed and unhappy here, its sooo expensive and theres nothing entertaining to do and it just sucks, so that means you should move back right now, im not asking, do it or else.
Then they turn around and complain i dont really have anything to do with them anymore. Well yea, because every time i come to a family dinner or talk over the phone, yall just bitch and whine at me, youll ask how im doing and when i say, actually pretty good, its always, are you really though? Im fucking sick of it. They dont care that mentally, im thriving here and physically, i havent needed to take my medications in 2yrs and havent had a single asthma attack since i left the city, figured thatd be something they would want for me, no?
Not to mention, apparently my job isnt a real job, and joining a unionized position was a terrible idea. A real job requires a university diploma, nevermind im making good money, infact more money than all of my cousins, unloading planes, stocking their galley and reloading planes, plus i really enjoy the work itself. But no, thats not a real job, you didnt take on thousands and thousands of dollars in student debt and your still debt free, you need debt so your credit score is good!
How about No. I dont wanna sit in a classroom for 4yrs to get a piece of paper that says i can sit in a depressing ass office for 40hrs a week and press buttons, thats your thing, not mine, id rather be up and about for 10hrs a night actually being challenged, not sitting on my ass all day every day in a place id probably hate. Nor do i want any debt, i could give a rats ass about credit score, i dont want to pay some rich asshole for money i dont have to buy shit i dont need, what? So i can have a big number? How about this, dont be stupid with your money, live within your means, and you wont need debt, what a foreign concept that is.
All in all, Id rather get my hands dirty at work and get tired from moving around all night, then turn around, go back to a peaceful, quiet, crime free small town to sleep, hunt, fish and hike in.
