2006 — "you can't run away." "you can't wear makeup yet, you're not old enough." "sorry sweetie, you can't do that." "you can't. why? because i said so." "you can't" "you can't" "you can't" "you're just a child." 2014 — "you can't go to art school, art is just a hobby. where is art going to get you in life?" "traveling after you graduate? that's irresponsible, you can't do that." "you can't just go around making bad decisions. think about your future." "you can't be engaged, you're too young." "you can't" "you can't" "you can't" "you're supposed to be an adult."
