I didn't ask for this. I did not ask to go through at least 13 years of school, or get job. This was not my idea at all. Yet, I'm the one paying for it.

One random day, 23 years ago, my parents decided they wanted to make a baby and 10 long months later (yes, 10 months), I came into the world. Me, a baby, a helpless little baby, had no idea what I was up against. No one told me that the world is judgemental and hypocritical. Nobody said that you aren't just guaranteed a path of life, that you actually have to work for it. And I most certainly wasn't told about taxes.

Think about it. Every single person on this earth is here because of someone else's decision. Not one person got a say in whether or not they wanted this. And that is just not fair.

I understand parents are supposed to "guide" you to make the right decisions and help you out, but let's be honest, they aren't the ones that actually have to do it. Yes, they did do it once. I will give them that credit; but times are different now--life is hard.

We live in a world that people have to be "brave" just to be who they are. People are literally scared to go to the bathroom because of the world we live in. College graduates can not get jobs in their field right after college anymore, because everyone requires three to five years of experience. How does that even make sense? I need to go to college for at least four years to get a job, yet you also want me to have five years of experience? Yeah, okay.

Relationships are hard. Not just romantic ones, but friendships. It isn't as easy as liking the same color crayons anymore. You have to really work to keep up these relationships. People move, they get jobs across the country-- they grow up. Even maintaining solid relationships with your family is difficult. Not every person is supportive of your dreams, and there are so many different opportunities for someone, that it is very easy to piss off another family member. Those relationships can be even harder to mend or keep.

I went to high school, as did most people in America. Yet, during these four critical years of my life, you know, the four years that I am supposed to make every major decision about my future during, all I can actually remember is the Pythagorean theorem. We were never taught how to balance a checkbook or apply for a loan. I never learned how to make my own clothes or raise a kid. I wasn't even offered a class that taught me how to build a resume. I will say, I was lucky enough to have a great guidance counselor that helped guide me through college applications, but most people still don't have that.

We were basically thrown into this world to figure it all out ourselves. Ever heard the phrase, "You need to make your own mistakes to learn?" Why is that? Why can you not just tell me your secrets so I actually have a somewhat easy life? I mean, I did not make the decision to have to go through all of this, and here I am, still trying to figure out life.

I blame my parents.
