Toxic. It’s all been toxic. I don’t know what happened but I felt that everything and anything I do was all limited. That’s why I decided to left our home. I just… I just want to be independent but I don’t know how to start or where to start. I’m just a college student for Pete’s sake!

I’m here at my bestfriend’s condo for a while because I have nowhere to go. And the only plan that I had was apply for a part time job to sustain all my needs. To be honest, I regret my decision to ran away from home but I want to be free and do things all by myself to prove something. It’s selfish isn’t it? You’re probably thinking now how dumb I am coz’ I’m too immature for my age.

“Hey, stop those heavy sighs, will you? Why did you made this impulsive decision if you’re just going to regret afterwards? Tsk tsk” Lexie rolled her eyes at me, making me feel more regretful ugh…

“Come on, are you really my bestfriend or what?”

“Of course, I’m your bestfriend duh, Jo, I just want you to realize that you need to put down your pride and go home to your parents…” she said that very carefully trying not to offend me by her choice of words and I really appreciate that I’m so lucky to have her

“Lex, you’re right but I can’t breathe there”, I complained

“Can’t you just wait until we graduate? I know that you know that there’s a 99 percent possibility that you can’t graduate without your parents financial support duh our tuition is high as your pride”, she joked and earned a smack from me

“Alright, alright, you won”

And so that night, I drove to our home and apologize to my parents because of my disrespectful act. Unbelievably, they just replied that it was okay and pat my head like when I was four-year old. I cried that night and consoling myself that I can become a great doctor soon.
