Day 869

Tears are nothing to be ashamed of – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  7 : 49 PM on day 869 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to sit in the car with my mom while my dad sorted out my sister’s university paperwork, eat lunch at Spur and drop my sister off at her residents (dorm).

This afternoon we dropped my sister off at her residents (dorm) I was determined not to cry but just as she was about to leave she opened the door of our passenger seat and said good bye don’t cry which of course I proceeded to do because I felt like I was being left behind in life everybody else my age was in their fourth year of university while I was still learning how to take off my t-shirt and (excuse me for being graphic)  wipe my ass it just seemed unfair parents with neuro-typical  kids tend to take for granted that their kids will go to university, get a job and have a family my parents have no such guarantees honestly thinking about my future scares the daylights out of me I don’t want to be a burden on my family or my country I just want to be a contributing member of society. Do you feel ashamed immediately after you cry?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
