What do you do in a situation like this?
I like a guy. A lot. And he likes me back. A lot.
But my best friend hates him. She hates him with a burning passion. She thinks that he is a rude person. But she has never really talked to him.
Today, she spoke against him for my sake, even though I said that I would take care of it. And I did, but she just had to put her two cents in the pot!
And look at what happened. I made her mad. And I didn’t even mean to.
What do I do?
Everyone, and I mean everyone thinks that Ian is a bad influence, that he is a rude and mean guy and that I have absolutely no idea what I’m getting myself into by liking him.
I am tired of being treated like the baby of the group! And it’s not just Katheryn, it was everyone. Everyone has always treated me as the baby, as the naïve one and I am sick of it! I am old enough to make my goddamn decisions, why won’t anyone see this?
I love my friends dearly, but it is time for them to let go and let me live.
I have my own life. I want their support, not their decision for me. I can make it through on my own and if I need help, I will tell them. They will know when I reach out to them.
And reach out I will, I know there will be times that I need their helpful hands and hearts.
I am not quite an adult, but I know that I cannot fully grow up unless I learn from my own mistakes.
But first, I have to make them.
So here’s to my friends, those whom I love dearly, and here’s to my new responsibility—
Me.
When even those most childish grow up.
