Free Bird

I'm so sick of people telling me how to live my life.
I'm so sick of people throwing their opinions in my face when I haven't asked to hear them.
I'm so sick of people giving me what they think is "helpful advice" when really, it's not.
I'm so sick of people telling me "that's going to be hard" or "you'll regret doing that".

Firstly, when did everybody become so god damn cynical?
Why the negativity, and why the constant need to push your beliefs onto others?
I'm perfectly happy living my own life, so why can't you let me!
I feel like I've been raised in a bubble, and that I'm used to it now so I'm really going to struggle to get out of it comfortably, but I think I really need to pop it and run for the fucking hills.
& start a life of my own in those hills, and not go running back to the bubble, because I need to learn to be me, on my own, discover the world and discover who me even is, before I become this robot person that just adheres to societies expectations, working 9-5 everyday, getting married, having kids, caring about materialistic and superficial things, rather than happiness and the important stuff.

I might be naive, I know that I'm young and inexperienced and although I try to expect the worse, I probably have no clue... But that's why I think I need to see the worst, so I can appreciate the best, and gain experience and wisdom and all that jazz.
I feel like everything that I've ever once wanted in my life, I have been talked out of or told that it would be a mistake or unstable or not financially viable or that I can't do it, and thus I have given up, and that's bull shit, because now I feel so lost and so unhappy and I don't even know what I want anymore, because I can't hear myself over everyone else's opinions yelling in my face at once.
So speak up, little heart, speak up and stand up for what you need and what you want.

& I definitely DO NOT need a man to make me feel validated in life!
Sure some romance is nice and if the love of my life walks in tomorrow, I'd follow him to the ends of the earth, but until then, I have no obligations to any body, and i'm sure as hell not going to waste my time on some douchebag who thinks the sun shines out of their own asshole!
I don't owe anyone anything, I don't want to feel like I have to think about someone else when I make my decisions, because I did that for over a year and it was crappy and make me severely unhappy!
I'm sick of everyone telling me how I should feel or assuming that I do feel a certain way about things, and putting so many boundaries around me, like I'm a piece of land that needs to be fenced off so that they can shove their flag into my soil and claim me as their property.
That's what it feels like sometimes.

No thank you. I am nineteen years old, and I have the world at my feet, and my whole life ahead of me. I am in no rush to get a degree, start a career, rush into a relationship, get married, have children, or any of it. I have all the time in the world for those things later in life, but right now, I am young and I am reasonably free, so I'm going to make the most of the years that I can just focus on myself and have no baggage. I am going to go and see the world and live amongst people who I've never met and work my ass off and live life day by day. I don't need someone around to help me make decisions or to tell me how to feel about things, because how am I meant to know how I feel about things, with everyone else's opinions clouding my view?

I am young, I am free, and I am coming world; hear me roar!
