Hey guys..

This is gonna be really hard to say.

But my parents have been on my case about using my phone too much. They complain that I'm missing out on life and that I can't have my head staring at  a screen all the time.

Apperantly it's "diminishing my potential." As a human being and that its making me dumb. How awful am I?

Never mind the fact that every other teen is on their phone and the only way that I can socialize is if I have a phone too. (I'm not even kidding. When kids I know meet up, we don't talk. No, no no. We pull out our phones and browse the internet together.)

My parents want me to "experience life." What they don't realize is that my life is on here. They don't want me tyoung away on a screen when in reality, I'm doing something productive, like writing.

I hate to be one of those teenagers who whine "oh no!!! My parents don't understand me!!! Sad face!" But it's true. They don't understand the fact that the only place I've ever truly felt like I belonged was on here. On here, with people that I've never actually seen but feel like I know personally. People who actually know what I'm talking about. People who understand the references I make, the jokes I tell, and the fanfictions I write.

I'm not even being dramatic when I say this. Im gonna miss all of you 😢

Hopefully I'll be back for summer.

Love,
Catie
