My mom hates it that I'm growing up. She keeps on repeating about how, 5 years ago I was vehemently against sleeveless tops, shorts, makeup and letting my hair down.

And in 3 weeks time, I'll be in a boarding school. No more secondary alarm clock (hi mom), no more dependence on family over petty stuff.

Everybody is like "WTF BOARDING SCHOOL WHY TORTURE YOURSELF!?", it's really because I need to learn to stand up on my own two feet. I would need to learn how to be independent before studying abroad (fingers crossed). My family, sadly and truthfully, will never be there for me forever.

Yeah, all grown up.
