what's up, buttercup?

I am dreading the day, which should be pretty soon, when I have to tell my parents that I’ve decided to major in education. I am honestly terrified. and I’m really sad that it’s this way. that some days I think about it and I realize that I might just love my friends more than my family. that some days the people that hurt me most are the ones that share my blood. that the first ones I go to with problems are almost never my parentals. I am so torn and confused.
