I long to make my parents happy.

Am really upset right now because I feel like I've made a choice that they are not happy about and nothing I can do will ever put things back the way they were.

I long for the day when my parents will love and accept my boyfriend just like I do.

I long to show my parents just how much I love them, how much I care about what they think of my choices.

There's a gaping hole between when I left the house at the age of 15 and now.
