My Parents are Scared of my Future
I've always threaded the lesser traveled paths because I am too fat and won't fit in the path crowded with people. Almost everyone in my family were and are teachers. I became a writer. Almost everyone in my family live and die as employees. I quit a lucrative job to be a freelancer. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with the "unconventional route" especially because in that world outside my family, the route I have taken is not that unconventional. But I know my parents are worried that I have no regular job and that I am still single. I know they are worried that I will grow old alone. The only thing I am worried about is them, that they worry to much about me. I'm fine. I've got it all figured out... most of the time.
