Dear mother pt2

Dear mother,
I can't live without him. He's helped me through so much more than you have, and I've lived with you for 15 years! I've only known him for about 1 year and he's done so much for me. The way we joke around doesn't sound ok to your expectations? Well if you haven't noticed, I'm done trying to live my life to your expectations. Because every time I reach your bar of expectations, you raise it so much higher. So now, I'm gonna take control of my life and live it my way, you can do whatever you want to me, I don't care anymore. I would do anything for him, and I know he would do the same for me. It's my life, it's my story. I'm gonna live my life and write my own story. If you approve or not doesn't matter to me, all I know is that me and my life isn't yours to control. I'm the one holding the pencil, not you. You may have provided the materials. But it's my words that are going to be written, not yours. I will never hand this pencil to you, because it's mine and will never be yours. You can rip up my paper or break my pencil. But I'll always find a way to get the world to hear my story and I'll always find a way to live my story, I will never live the story you have written for me. Because I have control of the pencil now, and I'll use that to my fill advantage.

Sincerely, your SON, Alexander
