I'm still young, but I've been growing.

I love you, to pieces. The little fragment that gets left behind, those sort of pieces. I enjoy your company, your laughter, your wisdom and your strength. I listen to your advice, even though I don't take some of it into consideration. I appreciate everything you've done for me, and everything you'll continue to do. But you need to understand, I'm not little anymore. You can't protect me anymore, you can't stop me from doing things I'll always do. You can't judge me and then tell me "you shouldn't do that." Anymore. I've come so far. And i'm so mature and responsible, i just don't feel like the credit is given to me at all. I'm sick of feeling guilty for decisions i've made. For decisions i'm going to make and will continue to do. if you know i'm going to do them anyway, then i don't want your opinion at all. As much as i value it , its not worth the feeling i feel now.
