>without following the values that others impress upon you, what type of life do you want to lead?
im already doing this - but a quiet one. no extra bullshit, no "keeping up" with my peers whatever the fuck that means, not chasing highs or big achievements

i just wanna live in a quaint, quiet little house with some pets and my bf as his housewife while I bring in a little extra income with a side job that isnt overly stressful or demanding that's all and nothing more and I will be happy and content

my entire childhood was filled with parents who screamed at each other, a mom who would ruin nights from her alcoholism, a father who just abandoned me, and lots of screaming and yelling and it all just led for me to be someone who wants to exist in her perfect little sanctuary protected from other people's bullshit and im okay with that I wanna give child me the life she never had
