void my parents say i have been changing. they say it is for the worse and that they miss their little girl, but i have never been more confident and happy then how i am now. they want me to leave my friends, the only ones who have been there for me so i will go back to the way i was. i sadly can’t leave here and i want to make them happy but i like who i am. how can i stay true to myself but keep my parents happy? (talking is not an option, they don’t listen)
The void seemed saddened by these woes.
“unfortunately, this is one of those complicated circumstances where there is no happy ending”
“If your parents truly are stubborn, than you have to choose which is more important. Your happiness, or theirs.”
“Perhaps I am not the best one to speak on this matter, as I never had a proper parent.”
“But shouldn’t your happiness be theirs?”
“If they truly love you, should they not be overjoyed that you’re happy as yourself?”
“You should prioritize your own happiness, Traveller. The right people will be happy that you are”
“It can be hard to accept, but sometimes people can’t be changed, and you have to accept it and let it go”
“I hope things work out for you dear traveller”
The void slowly slinks back into the lake. You feel weary.
