hey dad. i really wish you cared about my mental health and my feelings in general. or that you recognized my efforts and my hard work instead of constantly telling me i have to do more and more and more. i'm not failing my classes, i'm actually doing much better than i was. but for some reason you refuse to acknowledge the hard work i put in and instead ask me why i'm not living up to impossible standards. anyways, i also wish you accepted me for who i am. understood that i will be happier following my heart and loving who i love than being shoved into a box and forced to change my heart. i cant control that, but you don't see that. i'm sorry i cant be a perfect, straight, religious little daughter like you want, but ever since ol' big bro moved out and you didn't have all his imperfections to focus on, you've really put the pressure on me. stop using me as a punching bag, realize that i cant control certain things like my sexuality and my mental health.
