you are in your soapbox. i can too.

can you people please PLEASE stop telling me who I should be may it be in the present or in the future, how should i behave, what should i wear, how should i spend my money, where i can or can not go, and most importantly how should i look.
i've already chosen this path. let me be. let me take this path, with or without risk, cos i'm willing accept all the consequences of my actions. didn't i proved you so? whatever you're saying now can't change the fact that i'm already here. i like what i'm studying now. i did not regret making this choice. it's just music makes me feel more alive than ever. yes, i'm drifting away, i'll admit it. let me do what i want to do. i have no intentions of confusing you. maybe you know better, but still i am going to be the one living with the choices i've made. you are afraid. honestly, i am afraid of my future more than you do.

it's just an advice.
it's for your own good.
it will never do any harm to you if you just listen.
you don't have to get too upset and too sensitive about it.
yes, Yes, YEs, YES... i've heard all of these more than a million times.

just stop. can you? can you PLEASE just stop?!!! stop. for once, try to look things from my perspective.
for your information, i like the way i look. i like the way i am. i am happy and contented with what i have.can't you just see that? i am blessed to have everything i've ever wanted, although there are times i tend to be greedy and desires the finest things in life. having said that, i am not dumb. i am perfectly capable at differentiating fact from fiction. if i may mention this again, my moral compass doesn't always point north, i know what's right and wrong. i know. i know what i am doing. thank you for being so concern but i know what i am doing. i just want to be happy. that's all. it's all i wished for.
i am me. can't you see that? i am a plain-Jane. i am uninteresting. i am boring. in fact, i chose to be a plain- Jane. i chose to be invisible. i want to be invisible because of you. i thought it would shut you up by doing so. but i failed. that means my 17th birthday wish did not came true after all. yes, i wished to be invisible. this proves how silly i am/was. see, i have made this choice and i am still here, happy and contented with my life. it's up to you to accept the way i am.

so, can you please stop telling me who i should be, how should i behave, what should i wear, what i should do with my life and most importantly how should i look?? cos i really really really love the way i look, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. but then again, it's all up to you how you want to judge me.
just remember, you and i, we all have our own soapbox. in mine, i have a mirror. so i am perfectly aware of my surroundings and of course me, myself and i. i thank you for your suggestions, advice, opinion, and guidance.
