Locked in the shackles of San Jose.

I don't get it.

I'm 21, a college graduate, soon-to-be-employed, independent, left the country and successfully kept myself alive for 7 months, responsible and I would say obedient towards my parents, yet I'm still treated like a child. I don't get it. I don't get it. My parents always seem to have a way with their words to make me feel guilty for living an average life. I'm not used to the restrictions. It's been 4 years of not having to worry about their stinging nags and irritating phone calls in the quest to track down where I am at whatever time at night/day. I understand that now I'm under their surveillance since I'm at home and it is "their" home. I haven't found home in the past 4 years being in college along within the last few weeks here at my parent's house. I've kept my bags packed and frankly, everything I own is my "home" to me. I need to find a sense of independence again. I can't stand it. I love my parents to death, but their constant inquiries are unnecessary when it comes to simple evening outings. Yes, I will be here in the morning when you peek into my room. Don't worry.

Get me out of here. Please.

Plans of escape:
1. Take the GRE's and get into graduate school [SFSU]
2. Take intensive Teaching English as a Foreign Language [TEFL] courses and get certified in September so that I could find work abroad and leave this biznatch.

I neeeeeeeed to! I absolutely neeeeeed to. Identifying with Sagittarius qualities/characteristics is probably going to be my demise--- I am bored and unsatisfied with idleness and restrictions.

Keep me locked in and I will go insane. Trust.
