My Parents Don’t Like My Boyfriend

And I was like freshman, sophomore year of high school and all the teachers would be like, it's too soon to worry about that. Don't worry about that. And it's like, no, that's like, that's like when you fucking have all the energy. I guess like me specifically, because I went into a creative field, so my perspective's a little warped, but like, I'm so happy that like I was following my gut really early. And like when I was like, I'm going to move out to LA and be a Viner. Like it was the classic conversation with all my friends. Not like, not my hometown friends because they understood it because they were so close to me. But like, like everybody else was like, that's crazy. You're moving to LA. What are you, stupid? And like all I could think about was like, this is just like the movies. Like, I feel like Zac Efron in High School Musical. Like, they are so stupid. They really don't get what I'm going to go and do. Like, you got to follow your gut, especially when you're young, because like that's when you can make all the fucking mistakes in the world.
