A Little Annoyed...

I don't usually let things get to me but today things came at me all at once. I feel like I need to vent...publicly, so here it goes....

Why is it that just because I'm young people don't trust me or my judgment? I know that I am only 23 and that I haven't had a ton of life experience but I feel like I am very mature for my age. I grew up fast so maybe I do have as much life experience as someone who is older than me, you don't know. I may not ask for help, but that's because I would hate to inconvenience anyone at any time. Why do you think I am so crazy? Maybe I come accros a little stern, that's because I want you to know I am serious. Maybe sometimes I am a little more emotional than need be, that's because you have driven me mad by not accepting all my efforts!

I may not have been to 4 years of college, vacationed in all 50 states, or left the country, but I still know things. I am more than the average 23 year old. I have been married almost 5 years, which means I have ran a household for 5 years.I have been raising children, maybe not like wonder mom, but they aren't complete monsters. I have been working for 7 years, and I've never been "let go." I've been asked to stay employed and continue working because I'm a hard worker, even by big companies that have tons of employees/applicants. I have been recognized and praised by your superiors.

I guess what I am saying is give me credit where credit is due. I've sacrificed to get where I am, and I'm not going anywhere. I may be young in age but that does not make me "young and dumb." I will stick it out until I have your full respect, and I will show you respect even when you treat me badly. I am not looking for a friendship or a long term relationship, I simply want you to acknowledge me as an adult because I am not a child anymore.

Watch out world, I will succeed!!!!



P.S. Just because I am venting does not mean I need a special phone call, a text, or a billion questions.
