Small Vent

(just realised that this vent actually came out longer than I expected, it's not really small anymore smh)

Eh...I didn't feel so cheerful today and I kept thinking about this so uhh...I made a GIF out of this.

I have this..."friend" who used to be my best friend, last year to be exact, and this year in school she just...wanted to bring religion into everything.

Now, there's nothing wrong with that, your beliefs are your beliefs, I'm religious myself, but she just...wanted me to change what I do in my normal life to fit her beliefs. She said that writing fantasy stories and drawing/making characters isn't good because it's against God. And she said I'll never go to heaven if I don't change what I do.

She doesn't like people who are attracted to the same sex, she doesn't like people who put creativity into their work. I told her before that, limiting my creativity and imagination by cutting things out I "can't" do won't help and it'll make me feel trapped and unmotivated. But she argued that you can still be free if you do it. Can't speak for anyone else, but that wouldn't make me feel free. And I don't wanna live my life like that. I wanna enjoy it.

 I wanna enjoy it

"Change your lifestyle based on my beliefs. Otherwise? Heh... You'll never go to heaven."

"I know what's best for you, Csenge."

Csenge is my real first name. (oh stars it's reaaaallyy weird to type it out in an English sentence) I know, probably not the easiest name to pronounce, that's why I just go with the Hungarian version of 'Lily' as Lili.

But umm...yeah. This has been dragging me down all summer and I just wanted to let it out for once.

I remember a great friend of mine telling me the truth when we were talking about this situation.

(She doesn't like her either, by the way.)

She told me I can be easily manipulated. That I let my guard down too much and forgave too much. And honestly? I believe her. I really do. My two friends gave me the best example of what our friendship is like in school.

"An owner dragging their dog everywhere" I laughed so hard at that.

I'm the dog, she's the owner. And they're right. I let myself be dragged around by her and I let her control me and my thoughts.

It was like I was the puppet, and she was the puppeteer.

And I'm too afraid to tell her that this friendship is over, heh..

I just wanna sing, write, and draw what I want to.



Is that too much to ask for....?




Sorry for the vent, I just needed to get this off my chest, plus I feel better just typing this out so. Not sure if Imma draw today btw.
