they dont get me here

Yeah I feel like that sometimes, haha. I know they support me and never REALLY say anything rude, but when I talk about moving to NYC for college and starting my clothing line and everything, I get comments like "OH, NY is really expensive...why not Austin [DISCLAIMER: I love Austin. But moving to NYC and having my own clothing business is my dream.]? It's cheaper and you'll be closer! The city is dangerous! You might get RAPED."

Like, really? Please don't crush my high school dreams just because yours failed! Let me dream, jeez!

It's not quite as bad for me, my mum don't make nasty comments, but when I explain my ideas on making something or recycling something I've seen on here, she looks at my like I'm a bit weird. But I don't care, I'm in the midst of rebranding my identity anyways. I don't like who I am atm, I'm too plain looking, to plain in my personality (which is why I've dyed my hair purple - although it isn't working) so I don't care too much. I just think, she may not understand my personality but she's going to love me no matter what. Although she knits and used to make her own clothing, when she was a kid that was the only way she could look half decent. That's why I think she looks at it a bit like negatively.

I only live with my mum, so whatever my dad says I don't care because (although it was my mum that made him leave) he missed most of mine and my sisters childhood all by himself, so he has ceased the right to have any say over what I say or do.

Just do what makes you happy, they may be tormenting you but deep down they still love you. I would talk to them though, if they have nothing nice to say about what you do then tell them to keep their opinion to themselves, you don't want to hear them.
