I'm going to lose my mind. I've had my eye on this one particular university for years and even applied for housing already. Now he's talking about going there too and getting all excited about it.
I never told him about my plans, so yeah this is definitely going to look bad.
I don’t mind driving him places, but it made me really sad that I had to drive him to pick up a rental car for a day out with another woman, because that’s exactly what I’ve wanted for myself
I've been asking for an actual date for ages. Meanwhile, the guy who has no car rented one specifically to go out of his way to pick up a female acquaintance so they could go swimming at a lake together. How lovely.
I had to be up ridiculously early for an appointment anyway, so I just didn't sleep and decided to use the opportunity to finally do the thing I'd been wanting to do all week.
Naturally, I did everything except that...
Then I'm told to just get a secure 9-to-5, that life isn't a fairytale, that I won't make it the way other people do because I'm too shy and it'll get me nowhere.
And if I talk about something I actually want to pursue, they question whether I even have a chance and guilt-trip me because it would mean moving far away from home.
They insist they're not pushing anything onto me, but get genuinely offended when I say I don't want to work at a pension insurance company and demand to know why.
I'm so tired of being pressured every single day by my parents to explain in detail what I want to do with my future, only to have every answer picked apart.
