I plan to finally move out tomorrow. My stuff isn't quite packed yet. My boyfriend and I have been on the phone for the past hour worrying our heads off about money, transportation ( my parents have announced that I will not be allowed to keep the car. I told them they can have it. I rather get my own.)
My previous story is here about the parents and their determintation to have total control over my life: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/114839/1.ashx
But tonight I had it. I came home from my boring, 7 hour shift job tired and dirty but happy because it was another day of my hard work. My first real stable job where I am actually able to have a budget and balance my own checkbook and wanna know the best my parents could come up with?
"You come home too late and I we won't be woken up at 1 in the morning just cause you are coming from work. You either quit or leave the house but make sure you leave the car keys."
I didn't even cringe this time.
This time I am not even scared. At this point, I know there has to be more to life than this. I have to believe I am capable of Greatness without the control of my parents and the Watchtower. And if that means not having a car for the first time in my life since getting my drivers' license 5 years ago, if that means having days of eating Ramen noodels and not being able to get my hair done regularly like I used to then so be it.
The cost of my independance is priceless!! AND I AM READY TO CONQUER THE WORLD!!
