Independence (est. )
I find myself still being called a child.By my father who makes me walk a block to go get him a pack of Newport 100's and cigarillo's.
Yeah i'm short but my attitude is ten feet tall and this girl is going places or at least that's what I say...I start to think "Do I really know at all?"
I have Epilepsy but I can still work and manage my school and want to get away from my dad.
As a kid I thought turning 18 would mean freedom but what freedom, i'm searching for an sense of independence i never had.

I like your piece... Nice write... has the ring of truth... be patient with your Dad, he means well... and you will always be his little girl. (they don't get over it, so tell him you love him even if you disagree... he'll feel better, and maybe he will... chill just a bit)
From this end of the age spectrum... There are a couple of things I can tell you... though you will, of course, have to find out for yourself...
One... when tragedy happens, it's just as awful as it was when you were a youngster... The BIG DIFFERENCE is that you have been there before, and you know you will make it through to the other side... meanwhile, take heart.
As for a sense of independence... I'm gettin' on here, and my sense of independence still comes and goes in spite of having been out here in the world for some 60 years... and I'm doing OK.
But one thing I do know... *Knowlege is power*
Learn everything you can... question everything... and double check you info until YOU are satisfied before you just accept it... search for the truth always... and remember to use the Golden Rule... Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Having been your age, I can relate... you are not alone. hugs, Ely
