My way.

            You’re too young, they said.  You need to wait, they said.  Why?  Who are you to tell me I need to wait?  It IS my life, isn’t it?  It is my future, right?  I can make my own decisions.  You see, many of us spend such a long time, and an enormous amount of energy just to find the one person right for us.  Who are you to tell me I haven’t found her yet?  That I need to wait?  Life is too short for me to wait.  I want to get it started now.  If I feel it, and I want it to be, it will be.  It’s as simple as that.  I’m sorry if you had to wait a long time, but that doesn’t mean I do as well.  If things go the right way, if things turn out right, I don’t have to wait any longer to start my life.  WAIT.  Of course I will wait, but I will do it my way.  And my way is spending as much time with her as I can.  I need to know she’s the right one right?  This is how I will do that.  My heart already says she’s the one.  But because of the way society works, I will need to wait like you told me to.  Imagine if I could do things my way, our way, we would be living together.  But nope.  It isn’t possible.  You won’t allow us.  Society won’t allow us.  That’s all right.  That’s okay.  Because at the end, we will prove you wrong.  We will survive this test.  We will make it through.  I love her and she loves me.  Yeah love is a strong word.  That’s why I use it.  It’s my feelings here.  Not yours.  I can do it.  I can feel it.  Imagine if we could change it all.  Imagine if she’s the one.  I don’t need to “worry” about it any longer.  I can get my life going.  I can have someone by my side to support my decisions.  I bet I will have a better outcome if I had waited the way you want me to wait, and that’s why I will do it my way.  I’m only 18, but I know where my life is going.  You want to give me advice, go ahead.  You want to tell me what to do, not this time.  I’m going my own path.  I’m walking my own walk.  It’s time to grow up.  The way I want.  The way I need to.
