Dear Dad,

I don’t expect you to understand but I’m gonna say it anyway. I go out because I have friends and I’m still a student. It’s the holidays. Just so you know, I don’t go out ALL the time. It just happen so that I’m busier than usual this week. And if you wonder why it’s always Nicholas, it’s not always Nicholas. Even so, can’t Nicholas be a good friend? You don’t trust friends and you might have bad experiences but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t true friend in this world. It doesn’t mean I won’t have good friends.

Yes, the society is getting worse but it doesn’t mean you have to shut me up to prevent me from being harmed. I see your concern but I don’t see the logic you used to show the concern. I’m turning 18 this August. I know I’m not financially independent but I honestly feel that freedom goes great with the number.

Like I said, I don’t go out all the time. Remember that in the past few weeks, you came home and asked me,’ Never go out?’ Remember? I stayed at home for a period of time. I just happen to have more activities this week.

I know that a job provides experiences and shit. I had one and it really fucked me up. “It’s part of the working society” you say. I know. Which is precisely why I don’t have to take that shit now. Please stop saying that by getting a part time job I can lighten your burden. It’s the holidays. You don’t give me my pocket allowance and I had never asked for a single cent from you. Do you see that as a lighten burden? No. Thanks for the appreciation, really.

I don’t tell you where I go. You don’t tell Grandpa where you go. I don’t see how it can be different.

Parents never see that the children give. They take and take and don’t realize it. They only see when you go out n forget all about you staying at home. Selective forgetfulness. WTF.

Why does every nice Wednesday end like fuck.

Thanks for the 2 cans Boss. They were awesome.

Thanks for the collage Ran. It’s beautiful.
