Who the hell made you the judge and jury of the world?

Ok, so I decided to go to Thailand in 2 years to do volunteer work for animal conservation and working with the children. Upon telling my family this, they decided that it was not a statement of fact, or an invitation to join me, but a quest for their approval.

Well, while they might be laboring under the delusion that the 25 yr old they once controlled and expected to ask approval for everything, no longer needs them to make decisions for him. News flash: I left at 17 and reached the level of adult, which allows me to make some decisions for myself. You haven't stood behind me, or assisted me since then, so what gives you the divine right to make my decisions? Answer: nothing, you don't maintain that right, it was simply a privilege I was indulging you in, and I'm done.

So I'm going to Thailand in 2 yrs, I'm going to be gone for 4 weeks, have the experience of a lifetime, and here's to hoping the world won't burn down while I'm gone. DEAL WITH IT.
