I stare at the photos on the table with a critical eye.
* What are you hoping to find; what are you looking for that you don't already have now?
With a sigh, I realize that my graduation pictures are going to look great
* Great most young people like their graduation pictures that, believe it or not, truly is a mid stone in ones life Including the trials and joys that went with; hopefully kind of like a rehearsal for better things to come.
* unless I superimpose someone elses' head on my body.
Ummh, that never works. No one can take your special place.
Graduation photos. Who invented the pathetic tradition of taking snapshots to document a slightly mundane occasion?
Sure, there are some kids who get all hyped up about leaving high school,
* Certain events in life are certainly subjective to each of us as we each see it to be.
but I don't want to face the future.
* Well, now that could be a serious problem.
One of the first problems you will need to address, no matter how comfy its been at home with family; and that is ..."How is it that you have faced the future in the your recent past with great success (as you are still here doing what it is that is very important to you)?
I like staying at home,
* Me too, until it was time for me to serve my country and later get and education. I had to leave the house for that because it was important to me to do so at those times. I'll do it again if some thing of interests me comes along. Other wise I like to stay and hang out around house until its time to go to work. I like the best of both worlds it gives me balance and harmony. You might temporarily want to give it a try. It works for me and alot of others I know.
letting my mom wash my socks,
* I know.
letting my dad pay the bills,
* I know.
letting my brother fix my car when it breaks down (which is ofen.)
* I know.
If--no, when I go off to college in a few weeks, I'll be thrown out,
* I know.
left to fend for myself in this dark cruel world powered my monentary gain.
* Yes, I know.
Not even the fact that I'm going to be a drama major in one of the foremost art schools in the country can drive away the pangs of anxiety that change causes.
* I love options. Have you considered your options lately like talking to someone outside your family that you trust?
* Talking to someone special who cares for you is always good ...in the short run and most assuredly in the long life-time run; even if there are "no grantees."
* Your taking responsible action on anything that is important to you puts you in control and self-control is always good as long as it doesn't harm, hurt or inconvience others especially those you love no matter how they have treated you.
* I know I certainly like having self-control. I've never been able to control others and they can't control me. However, I have always enjoyed telling them what I'm going to do. It works for me!
* "Seperation anxiety" is what you may be talking about here. Google it.
My best to you,
