Rant

Do you know what I feel when I say I want out of this place? I see all the things I want to do with my life, and learn and explore, and take care of and experience. But there are too many things holding me back. Here I am, living at home, nearly 19 and about to start some college courses (but living at home still). I want to get out of here and live my life! My GPA is good, my spirit is high, and my expectations of life are kept up. Please someone, if you know how, tell me how to get out of this life and start what I want to do. *sigh* They say life as a teen is not easy, and boy have I found that out this past year. Having been ripped from somewhere I loved, to being placed in something that feels like and resembles a hellhole has really put life into perspective. Now I have been to a great school, the school I want to attend and met many great people there (one in particular) I want my dream to start. I can study; maybe explore the US or even the world. I will study and start work, but why let that keep me from doing things I want to do? I want to know more about how being me feels, away from being watched and ruled. Is this how a dictatorship feels? I will work hard to get my dreams to come true, and I will try to make the most of the life I have now, all the while hoping and looking forward to the life I want and will have. Settle down...HA! Well, there is my rant of the day. Did you enjoy?
