I went to visit my parents today and got the same old lecture. We've never been close or seen eye to eye. I love them and respect them but I'm tired of hearing the same thing everytime I see them: "When are you going to grow up and dress like a normal adult? When are you going to take out the piercings? You are mutilating your body. What are you going to do with tattoos in 20 years? I can't believe there is anyone else out there who does that. It's such poor taste. etc etc etc."

It's not like I'm some loser. Why try to make me feel bad for making myself happy? I'm educated, have a successful career, and I'm completely self-relient. Is it so bad that I like to spice things up a little? It doesn't make me a bad person. I can only imagine what they'd say if they knew about all the stuff they don't see or know about.

Then I hear my friend talking to her mother. They're so close and her mom totally accepts her and supports her. It makes me a little jealous. I want a relationship like that. But I guess you can't change people
