Thank fucking God. I don’t think I could survive another full day with my parents.

laurel-pierce:

Oh so they’re like the business-work-a lot type parents? Damn, that sucks. My parents were very..free. I honestly don’t know how to explain it. They were both artists, my dad painted all the time, and took photos and so did my mom. I remember we would always eat dinner/breakfast/lunch outside almost everyday because my parents liked the ‘earth smell’, ha. So i dunno what kinda parents they were. Yeah, it’s fine. He’s doing some marine stuff..so I guess that’s an excuse. I don’t think I ever told Rose about my little problems so..I think I only have you.

Your parents really sound like they were amazing people. I wish I could have met them. My parents would never do artsy things like that—they hate the fact that i’m going to an art school. They only let me go because they think I’ll get good grades if I’m in a place that I like, so then I can get into a Perfect College, get a Perfect Job, and have a Perfect Life like them. Ugh. It may be an excuse for now, but he should at least talk to you about how you’re feeling. And I think it would be a good idea to tell Rosie, if you want to. She’ll support you completely through it. I don’t know if she’d want me telling you this, but… she’s had some problems of her own in the past. I think you guys would really be able to talk about this kind of stuff better than I could, because as much as I want to support you and understand, some of it I won’t be able to fully get. And I hate that I can’t comprehend sometimes, but that’s the way it is.

I could handle them, but fine. Are they that strict or something? You make them sound like such a nuisance, ha. I haven’t seen Rose in a while, actually. I talked to her maybe twice? And that was it. I’ll try to call her or something. We talked about this concert we were gonna go to so. Well, thanks Levi that means a lot. He who shall not be named didn’t even call or anything..nada, just nothing. You and Rose are the only people I have right now.

Yes, they’re strict, and they basically spend every waking moment with me trying to force their own lives down my throat. This entire trip so far has been them lecturing me about what I’m doing with my life and what I should do after I graduate. It’s just… not fun. Yeah, The Ting Tings, I think. You should shoot her a message. I know that she really wants company as much as you do, and she’d love to hang out with you, I’m positive. No problem. He didn’t? Really? That’s… terrible. I’m so sorry, I’m happy to be here for you but I wish your support system wasn’t so limited.

Aw, well if you ever need someone there I could always come. I could bring Rose too. My therapist thinks getting out is probably a good idea for me right now, and not to be cooped up in an apartment all day so. It’s your call. Really? D’aw well…thankies. You’re the first person to tell me that they were proud of me.

Thanks, but I don’t think I’d like to have either of you down here, around my parents. I’d love to see you and it would be so much better than having only them to talk to, but really, it wouldn’t be good. Thank you for the offer, though. Rose told me that you guys would be hanging out a ton over break, hopefully, so just go bother her until she takes you out of the apartment, ha. And I hopefully won’t be the last to tell you; I really am proud, Laurel. You’ve come a long way.

laurel-pierce:

Aw, really? Yay! I’m good, you? Oh my gosh, I’m so happy I’m not stuck in that place anymore. People are actually nice to me too now that I’m better, I got a lot of compliments from people saying that I look healthy and stunning so.

I’m fine, I guess. I’m with my parents in St. Louis right now, and to put it simply, I’m not really enjoying their company, whatsoever. And you do look great, Laurel, I’m so glad that you’re doing well and you’re healthy. I’m proud of you.

No need to fear your day is now less shitty..Laurel is here!

And you shall never fail to make me feel better. How are you, Laurel? Feeling better now that you’re back in the outside world?
