Parents are awesome, really. Never will you ever encounter more selfless people in your life. Parents, all they do is work to make other people happy. Makes me think of Celeste's film, my mom and dad are just filling their blank by filling other people's blanks.
People should never take their parents for granted.
I used to, and I blame adolescent ignorance and also sort of my ex-boyfriend. He didn't intend to warp my perception of my parents, but I guess he didn't really have much regard for his, and it obviously influenced me a little bit. I used to think they were a nuisance more than anything.
The most ridiculous thing is that it's when I was in high school that I thought this way, the time where I depended on my parents more than anything. For money, for food, for the roof over my head...
I attribute my sudden change of heart to my current boyfriend, Mikey. He taught me a lot of things and sort of "showed me the light" in terms of how appreciative I should be of my parents. He really slapped me with reality... and still does sometimes...
My relationship with my parents went from complete apathy to something so much better now... and I mean, it's crazy, I hated them before because I felt like they never trusted me with anything and kept treating me like a child, but that's exactly what I was asking for, really, because I never told them anything, I never communicated my plans, my thoughts, anything.

I live in my own apartment now, and pay for most everything myself. Mom and Dad trust me a lot more and honestly, it's fun to call my mom now because I realized that she wants me to call her, she wants me to tell her about my day and is happy to support me.
My parents still pay for my rent, just because it would be impossible for me to. My part time job doesn't pay that much, and you can often find me complaining about how broke I am via Facebook status updates, but I chose for it to be that way. I purposely told my parents to stop giving me allowances because it's unnecessary. I'm old enough to make my own spending money and stop taking theirs...

And yet, they still do things like buy me a $2000 DSLR for my birthday. What the fuck man.
Moms and Dads are awesome.

ok well, the disclaimer before dad gave me the gift was "you're not getting another birthday gift until you're 40."
