Most teenage girls would be frustrated about things like relationships, or what to wear to a party or anything like that. But that's not me. I usually get (extra) frustrated over not understanding a Physics problem, or losing at my favourite video games. However, no amount of video games would be able to stop me from being frustrated over the fact that I can never go on adventures. Let me explain.
All my life, my parents have limited the amount of 'social' time I have. They have restricted me from so many things, like going to parties, or out with friends, and even watching age-appropriate movies (but that's a whole other story). Basically, I have grown up to be very different to my fellow 16 to 17 year olds.
Due to these 'restrictions', I have resorted to what every lonley introverted teenager goes to - books, videogames and art. These three activities are what I've been entertaining myself with for so long - while other kids my age are going out partying, I comfortably stay at home with a good book or an interesting but educational site. I am definitely a nerd.
However, here's the real thing bugging me - after all the drawings and books and games I've been through, I realise how much I want an adventure. Not a simple "just-go-outside-and-meet-new-people" thing. I want to live in a huge futuristic bustling city, and run through the rainy streets under neon lights, whilst trying to solve a mystery or potentially fight someone! I want to drive cool vehicles and save the world! I want to be chosen to do something amazing and show everyone what I can do!
But all the things I want to do seem so far-fetched, or so imaginative that it can't actually happen. It makes me frustrated that I have to live a boring life as a 16 year old student, who will eventually go to university then get a job etc.
I want to have an adventure whilst I'm still young or still a teenager at least. Before it's too late.

You don't have to be a heroine in a dangerous plot to have an adventure.
Travel somewhere. Make your own adventure. If you can, take a trip out of the country. Or just somewhere out of state. Even somewhere just ten miles down the road. But go somewhere new. Experience something you've never tried before. Take a risk.
And you'll find adventure isn't hard to get.
ReplyMy parents are exactly the same way and it's so frustrating having to read about all these perfect lives were people can go on adventures and just have fun without having to worry about parents or exams and stuff like that. All i've ever wanted is to have an adventure, whether is be cliff diving in Perth or just going on a road trip with someone i actually like. So i understand how you feel. I guess we just have to keep dreaming about the day where we can go out and just leave... and have actual fun. Keep dreaming. We'll both have our adventures, i know it.
ReplyI'm 18 and my parents still treat me like a little stupid kid like they think my ideas are stupid and I have to listen to them because "they are older" . They also perm removed my PC so all I have is a tablet. They removed it because of bad addiction. I wanted to be psychologist or nurse but they said no and they wanted me to do computer job because they think I am good with computers.
