There is no authorative figure on Earth who can tell you who to give your heart to. No one can tell you who to love, how to love them, or when the love should end. Parents think they can control every aspect of your life, but love is an exception. It's beyond anyone's control, especially theirs. They will pick at you, tell you you're too young, that no one will ever be interested in you, or that you're not good enough. What kind of parenting is that? Can't they just understand? Some never will. Some will never let you rest until they've ruined your relationship, self-esteem, and the chance to let someone love you ever again. It's just something I'll never agree with.
