Planning A Trip With Your Long Distance Boyfriend

Transcript

I need to ask you something, baby, it's been a while since we saw each other. You haven't mentioned seeing me again, why? Why does it matter? Yeah, you will, but when? You keep mentioning that you're busy, why don't you just admit it? Your parents don't like me, they think that I'm a bad influence on you, but you're already an adult and they still treat you like a child, like you can't make your own decisions.

Why are you so scared to live the life that you want? Life is about taking risks. Do you want to live the rest of your life under the shadow of people that will someday not be there anymore, and then you'll look back, realizing that they were just impeding you from doing the things that you want to do.

What does it matter if one day you fail? If you fail, that means that you tried. You don't even have to think about me in this moment.

I love you enough, Dad. I just want to see you happy. I just want to see you fulfill your goals and dreams, separate from me.

If I can tag along for the ride, then that's great. I'll help you and I'll support you, but the way that you're handling this, waiting for their approval, waiting for them to somehow accept me or accept the fact that you want to do something different from them, you want to break the norm, you want to see the world, whether it be with me or not with me, that isn't even the issue. Do I want to see you? Yeah.

Of course. There's nothing more that I want to do. Nothing else would make me happier than to see you, but more importantly, I want you to get out of your shell, to stop relying on them as a safety net.

I know what you want in life, and it's not that. There's nothing wrong with helping them and staying with them if they need you and that's what you want to do with your life, but it doesn't mean that you can't do anything else. You have to live outside that shadow.

You know that, right? Forget about me and what I want. I know what you want.

You've told me so many times, your dreams and aspirations. You'll never even get close to any of them if you just worry about what they have to say about you, what your friends and family think about you. What will never make you happy is what you think about yourself, what you've done with your life, what you've seen, what you've tasted, what you've experienced and felt.

I, for one, want to feel you, experience you, taste you, feel you, many, many, many more times, until the end, until the very end. I want to help you. I'm out here doing my best, you know? Chasing my own goals and dreams.

Just be nice to have you alongside me every now and then. The last time that I saw you, I know, they weren't happy and you're scared of their reaction. I'm the bad guy, the one with the tattoos, the one that took their innocent girl away from them.

I know that, I know that's how they see me, I know that's how a lot of people see me. But in your heart, what do you really see? Do you see that bad guy? Do you see the guy that wants bad things for you? Or do you see a guy that loves you, that wants what's best for you? I'm related to me, tell me if I'm bad for you, I will walk away, right now.

Do you see me the same way as they do? No, because I'm not. They paint me as a villain, I only want good things to happen to you.

I only want you to see what I see in you, the potential, the talent. You can do whatever you want in this life, and they're stopping you from doing that. And I know you want to see me, and you're torn between what you want and what they want.

But let me tell you one thing, I'll never give up on you. I'll always remind you, of how amazing you are, don't waste yourself away, let's go away for a week, say you have a job interview, in a different state, if you have to, just enjoy a week with me, why not? What do you say? Do you want to forget about everything, and spend a week with me? She was contemplating what to do, even though she said yes to me.

I knew there was doubt in her mind, maybe she didn't love me as much as I thought, which was fine, I really just want what's best for her, that's all I want. But I also want to be with her. Staying there, and doing their bidding, for the rest of her life, was not what she wanted at all.

In the back of my mind, I already pictured her not coming. Maybe that was the wrong mindset, to have. But she's deathly afraid, to take any risks, especially ones that have to do with me.

She should be here by now, let me check her flight, of course it's too late. She'll be here, she has to be here, there's no way she's not coming, there's no way. She's gonna be here, don't worry, she's gonna make it.
