people decide things for me. I'm talking mostly about my mom and all her friends. I was having trouble choosing between taking a gap year and going to university, and I didn't want her input in any of it because from past experience, whenever she makes a choice for me, I regret it loads.
Just then, my mom and her sister were saying stuff like 'Look, don't think about taking a gap year, just concentrate on exams' and I was just thinking BULLSHIT in my mind. Who are they to tell me what to do. Who are they to make my choices for me. Choices that can affect my future. What I need, is advice.
My cousin rang me up the other day to give me advice. I really appreciated it. It took him one hour to convince me to go university. It took my mom, my Chinese teacher, my mom's two friends, and her sister three weeks to convince me to go, and it still failed. Actually, it wasn't even convincing. It was pretty much blackmailing.
