Pov: you've always been the good kid
You never gave your parents any trouble. Maybe you have problematic brother or sister, maybe you have bad boys as cousins, but, you always were that one kid that got compliments of your aunties and parents. You feel amazing when they're talking about your good grades, and how you never disapoint them.
You feel you can do anything, since it bother anyone around you, you're inside your room doing your conflict-less things. You feel peace but 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔’𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔.
You wonder how would feel to live an adventure, an adventure like the movies. You want to experience something that change everything. 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚.
How many experiences you lose for beeing this good? The good kids tends to avoid conflict, they’re unable to get out of confort zone to experience something.
Your friends ask you to go out in a little roleplay, you could go, but, you feel so anxious when it comes to ask permission to your parents, you don't want to bother them - may cause conflicts - so you avoid it. You don't go. You lost the experience to have a nice friends roleplay because 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑠, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒛𝒐𝒏𝒆.
Growing up this way, means not growing up at all. Since you’re not used to face conflicts, since you didn’t got the costume to disappoint your parents when you have to, it’s so hard to deal with your adult life, especially if you are a creative people.
The creative process requires taking risky leaps. If all your teenage life you spended stuck in the safety of beeing the good kid, you’re not able to be risky, you’re not able to trust. You’ll be a very anxious, stuck and unhappy adult, living a life others choose for you.

I’ve been wondering how many people are like me, i mean, it could be very lonely beeing a good kid. We’re focusing on beeing the best on the class, the best for our parents, the best for everyone.
What if we start beeing good for ourselves? Making decisions based in what we trully want, and not what they expect us to make?
