Show some responsibility...
We don't have money to keep you in school...
Apply for your student loan...
Only then will you be allowed to go out.
You always make me out to be the bad guy...
Why do you need to go out so bad?
All you do is sit at the computer...
You don't do anything productive.
This hurts....
Show some responsibility?Set the example properly.
When I go out, I phone you, I tell you who I'm going out with. Sure I come home late,
But how can you tell me to be home at a certain time
...when you are a hypocrite.
Do YOU tell any of your family that you're going out with friends?
What happens when you come home so damn late, and no one knows where you are?
You don't answer your phone when people want to know where you are.
Why should I even bother showing you that courtesy?
...when you don't have a right to say I'm irresponsible in that way.
I obey you anyways.
So you tell me that's not the only reason I'm irresponsible;
...it's because I have yet to
apply for student loans.We're broke, I understand.
I'm in the process of it, but it's not good enough for you.
So you nag and keep me back because I haven't done it.
Do you think your constant nagging will make me do things?
Because it doesn't. It makes me hate the fact I have to spend everyday with you.
I lose respect for you, every single time this happens.
More and more.. each time.
And all the nagging does
Is push me further into the depths of depression.
I love you, for you are my sister.
I know in most cases, I have it easy.
... if you only knew.
You say
I make you out to be the bad guy.All I've done, is state what you do to any of my listeners.
I tell my friends everything when I describe our disputes.
I even give you the benefit of the doubt.
I state your cases, your reasoning behind your behavior.
And I don't say: "because she can't help being a bitch"..
rather, I say it's because I know you want what's best for me.
I admit, I abandon your rules occasionally.
But I've always come home unharmed.
No matter how early I come home 99% of the time...
No matter how little I go out...
Nothing I do seems to show you that you don't need to worry.
How little you know about your own sister:
Why do I need to go out so bad?Why can't I wait another eight months to see one of my best friends?
Why can't I just go back to Prince George?
Because, I need to spend time with people who know who I am.
No offense to all my loved ones back home,
You know you all mean so much to me.
But there's nothing there for me anymore.
It's not like my parents will take it any easier.
I want to be able to have the fun that someone my age should be having.
Clubbing, parties, acquaintances...
The ability to live life without any inhibitions.
I hide a part of me from my family.
I hate not being able to confide in my own bloodline.
My only resort is to be with my best friends.
My best friends, are the family I was able to choose.
As I hide this important fact about myself
It slowly eats away at me from the inside.
Being held in confinement at home.
That's why I'm at the computer all day.I'm looking for release.
I'm talking to people who know me.
Sadly, the only way I can be myself
is over the internet, or in hiding.
How can I be
motivated to do anything..
when put in this situation?
Can you go more than half a year without being yourself?
Yeah you can, but how are you feeling by then?
What is it that I can't tell you?
Why can't I tell you?
Because I fear for my own safety.
I defy what the social norm is.
I worry that if I tell you, I'll no longer have a home.
I'll be left to fend for myself.
Maybe I should go live on my own?
I know there's a good chance I won't survive
But honestly, taking the risk is almost worth it.
It's worth being open with myself.
It's worth being happy.
So what inside me so badly wants to come out?
Well, it's exactly that...
ME... I am what so badly wants to come out.
So to my loving family..
I'm sorry, I'm gay.
