Doing What I Want

These past few weeks that I've gotten to be home with my dad have made me realize even more how black and white my dad's reasoning is. If it's bad, then it's bad, and vice versa. And while this might not necessarily be a bad thing for now, it just made me realize that in the coming future, I and he are going to disagree on a lot of things, and some of these things might even make him disappointed in me.

You see, having to stay away from home for that long made me get used to being the guy who takes all the decisions and does whatever he wants whenever he wants. But ever since I came back, I see my old man constantly trying to remind me of who's boss, not like I forgot. Lol

But yeah, there are a lot of things and a lot of decisions that I plan to take with my life that I just know wouldn't please him, but sadly when the time comes, I really don't think I would care, and I also don't think there will be much he could do about it.

One of those things being to draw tattoos. I've always been one of those people who loves a clean tattoo, nothing crazy, just something creative, neat, and well drawn. But my dad is obviously against it because he says a good Christian shouldn't have any tattoos.

But yeah, I guess when the time comes, we would have to decide if I'm a good Christian or not. Another thing that I would love to do is own a pet, preferably a dog, because I'm scared of cats. And although I don't see him getting mad at this idea, there have been a few times when we've talked about pets, and he has told me about his dislike for any kind of pets.

The last thing I could think of right now is marriage. If it's left to me, I really would just prefer to have kids but not get married because I feel like the concept of marriage isn't there anymore. Nowadays, the difference between a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and being married is that one has to do with you hosting an expensive occasion announcing the union, because divorce is quicker than most boyfriends or girlfriends ending their relationship.

This is definitely the one that I'm sure the entire family would fight me on and probably take me to church for some deliverance, but for now I really don't rate marriages. But who knows, probably when the time comes, my idea about it might change.
