I'm gonna share a little something.
I mentioned previously how shortly after my graduation, I had suffered from a huge mental break down as a result of being pressurized to find a job quick and some familial issues. In that time, I clutched onto Spain because it was my escape route. I wanted to go because I wanted to escape the mess that my life had become, and also just to get some peace of mind. I wanted to break out of my familial constraints and just grow. Learn and figure out who I really am.
So, I took up a course and am now certified to be able to teach English abroad. I started applying to agencies that organize these trips without my parents' knowledge largely because I didn't want to tell them beforehand and end up having to not go. It'll be a failure in my eyes and I didn't want to see their disappointment.
And that's exactly what happened. The first agency I applied to, I got rejected. I didn't tell my parents about it because there wasn't a lot of risk involved. It was just a simple interview over Skype, no big deal.
This second one however I told my parents because it involved large sums of money. I gave Dad the link to the agency, he checked it out to make sure it was safe and off we went.
Thus far, I've been paying for all the fees because I don't want my parents to do so even though I know they'll be fine doing so. This is my trip and it's something that I want to do on my own. Just knowing that I have their full support backing me up is more than enough for me. I don't really need much else.
So in a lot of ways, I can understand where Minnie is coming from because I did it myself but the thing is that the truth will come out eventually and it's better if it happens soon and from her own mouth. There's a world of difference in leaving for a place knowing you have your family supporting you and leaving on bitter terms.
