Why?

I am a grown woman. So why is it that everyone keeps holding on to some archaic concept that I am unable to take care of myself? Yes I am on the otherside of the world from my family and friends but I am meeting new people and making new friends. While no one can replace my friends at home, moving on is part of life. I am getting really tired of everyone telling me that they are worried about me (DF you're not the only one) like I am some 4 year old who can't take care of myself. Yeah occasionally I lose control and freak out but so what? Everyone does it's part of being human. I'm also getting tired of people who keep telling me that I have to express myself more. Some people are talkers and some aren't. I usually am not a talker so if there are long periods of time when I don't have entries hang in there. It's just means that I am not in a talkative mood. I will talk when I am ready to. Also I am in Law School so I don't have a whole lot of free time to play. Thanks for listening to the initial rant. I promise they will not all be like this. I'm usually a fairly upbeat person.
