I am grateful for my mother.. BUT

You are so suffocating and you think that you can have your shit your way but no, it does not work that way with me.  You cannot control me, you cannot tell me what I am or what others perceive me as.  Because I am me, and you are you.  And I really could care less for how others perceive me, because if they judge me wrong then they clearly do not know me.  And you know, you constantly judge me wrong, because you really do not know me.

I wish I could talk to you about everything and I wish I had a relaxed relationship with you but that is not the case.  You criticize everything I do and treat me like I have never experienced anything in life before, like I am so sheltered from all the dangers and thrills of the real world.  And just because I am still young, and barely an adult, does not mean that I am so frustratingly naive as you believe me to be.  I have experienced so many different things in my short life as of now, that I can confidently say that I know what is right and wrong, I know and understand the consequences of the decisions I make, I know what is best for me and me only.  What I believe is that you do not understand that I understand, that you see me as young, inexperienced, and foolish.  Well, all I have to say is that you can keep thinking all the stupid shit about me that you want, because in the end, why should that matter to me if you perceive me as a stupid girl, with stupid beliefs and morals, with stupid friends and future with no hope.  Because all that means to me is that you have no faith in me, and that you do not realize the potential that I have within me.

So go ahead and tell me how you know every little thing that runs through my naive mind, because I think that you are the foolish one.
