Mom,
I'm sorry for wanting to go to Italy for school, one of my dreams. I can't help but want to go and I can't help being upset about not being able to. I know you didn't go anywhere until you were 16, and it was only another state. And I know I have more than others do. Don't say I don't appreciate it because I do, I honestly and truly do. I love everything I have, I love my Macbook, I love being able to go to another state this weekend. Thank you, thank you! But I don't want to be like you and have only been out of the country once at 40 years old. I want to travel, I want to go places! I can't just stay home and do nothing with my life. I could even be like Dad and travel to almost all states in the U.S. It's better than nothing.
Please, consider it. I know you think I'm just jealous my friends get to go, but that's not it at all! I'm upset I can't go. Heck, I'd go alone if you'd let me. I'd go if they were or not. Please consider, please.
<3 your daughter.
