who did I use to be?: [298/300]
"My parents always wanted the perfect daughter. Someone they could brag about to all their friends. For a lot of my life, my world revolved around their voice and their opinions. I did everything they told me to do, dressed how they wanted, even acted how they wanted me to. I was raised to follow everything they say. To be the daughter THEY wanted me to be. To be the puppet in their show. They controlled me, my life. I wasn't allowed to have friends, as they thought it would take away from my studies. I wasn't allowed to like things that girls my age would have liked. I wasn't allowed to have my own opinion.
Growing up, I wanted to be a singer, or just a song writer. I wanted to express words with my voice, sing and create music. Although, every time i'd bring it up to my family, they'd force me to me into a closet filled with mirrors.
"Take a good look at yourself Chloe! You're a bad girl! How dare you try and objectify us!"
All i would see in those mirrors was me, a failure in the eyes of my parents. And once they had broken me enough with their ways, they'd let me out and send me back to my studies. After some time, i was old enough to attend college. There, i met others just like me. They helped to show me that there is a different way i could live my life.
Fast forward a few years and now you see me. An independent woman living a happy life as a song artist. I write songs about how things in your life could be bad but things get better. Things will change! And that everyone deserves their own voice."
