Sometimes I wonder why do we always have to live up to the standards of others? It's our lives after all, but the ironic thing is that we never allow ourselves to live the way we want to. I'm kinda tired of the many expectations I have to meet: A diligent student, an obedient daughter, a supportive friend, an understanding partner..... and so many more. Why can't I just flunk my studies, defy my parents, refuse peer pressure and shed all that restrictions as a girlfriend? I miss being a kid, I miss being myself.
