Thoughts Turning to Ink on Paper

One Year Anniversary

It has been a year,

A freaking year

I made it

I did it

One day over a year,

Yet it's still sad that my family

Has not moved on

They are still trying to find

To find reasons why I shouldn't be

With my boyfriend

They say he's controlling when he's clearly not

We're long distance,

There's nothing wrong with calling a lot

My sister and mother are saying I should detox

From him

Like it's an addiction

It's fucking ridiculous

Calling a lot is how we would be if we weren't long distance

We are acting like how we would be if we lived closer

Around each other a lot of the time

Whether it's online or in person

It's as if they never have had a bestriend or a boyfriend before

They both have and my mom's still married

My sister also has a boyfriend

It's as if they act like it's weird to be in love

And want to be around them constantly

They are so concerned about my love life

Focusing constantly on things that are irrelevant and not red flags

Nitpicking my relationship

When they should be focusing on theirs

They are hypocritical

In everything they do 

My sister is with her boyfriend everyday

Judging me for spending my time with my boyfriend on call

I'm getting tired of it

Tired of them not accepting who I choose
