“Bro, my mom would hold my hand in the house, okay?”

This is gonna sound even, like — not stupid, but like it’s not really that big of a deal. But anyway, it is to me, you know? ‘Cause today we went to Aldi and we got like… Well, like my dad and I went, but I was only one who went in, ‘cause he was like, “You know, why don’t you just go buy it today?”
I was like, “What? Like me alone? That’s crazy.” Like, “Yes. Yes, of course, I will.” So I just — literally all we had to get was milk, ‘cause that’s all we wanted to buy. Like, that’s like — we didn’t want anything else. Like we could, but we just, we just didn’t want to. So, anyway, I, I went in by myself, guys. I know, I’m like, [a teenager]. At my grown age, I should have been doing this like a long time ago, but I am an only child and I have like pretty strict parents. Like, I was a pretty sheltered kid. Like I never even… Bro, my mom would hold my hand in the house, okay? The bar is so low. Like the overprotectiveness is crazy, you know?

So like, I just, I never really did anything on my own. The only time I really felt free growing up was like camp, or like field trips, or anything remotely similar to that where I was like, away with other children. But it’s never just been me, you know? Like, I haven’t even finished my driver’s training stuff yet because I started super late. So, and it’s also on me ‘cause I was also scared, ‘cause I was like, “I don’t know, I don’t know what’s going on.” Like, “No, thank you. I don’t want to sit behind a wheel. I barely have walked in a grocery store. What are we talking about?”
