I've gained a better perspective on what it's like to be a parent. A parent in such a way that you give someone (your child) guidance, trust, memories, money, etc. You send them off into the world and let them do their own thing but you expect that they keep you in consideration, make you proud, come back to you with loyalty, gratitude, and stories to tell. You pray they aren't wreckless and that they don't take for granted what's been given to them selflessly. Well, your "children" are bound to act selfishly, and take their freedom and run with it. Only to leave you thinking damn, that's what I let them do? That's what they did with their freedom & money? I don't even get respect in return? Because I've learned that "parents".. they never want you to pay them back in money.. they want your respect, gratitude, and loyalty in return. They don't necessarily care to be out there having the fun you're having and doing what you're doing.. they just want you to be making smart choices and carrying yourself with dignity and making them proud.
Hurt me fucking good.
