On the verge

I am not a naturally rebellious person. In my teenage years, I didn’t rebel. I skipped that whole stage. And now, at 20, I am on the verge of rebellion. It has come to my realization that rebellion is almost necessary as a teenager. It should not be suppressed. It is a chance early in life to spread one’s wings, the chance that I have given up again and again and again.

Right now, at 20, I absolutely and solely need to spread my wings and fly by myself for a while. There has been an offer in my life, which I won’t delve into, that will give me that chance. However, I have discussed said offer with my most trusted sibling and it seems that I can’t get by the owner’s of my nest with honesty, something that is highly valued, alone.

I would like to be fully honest about said offer but that, apparently, is not going to cut it. I am greatly disheartened by it. My heart really needs to do this, for me. If the owner’s of my nest won’t let me take the offer, I’ll rebel with the magnitude of every little rebellion I didn’t have in my teenage years. I really feel good about the offer, I want to do it.

Question (to be answered in an @ reply to @starsintheskies):
Do you think a 20 year old should be allowed to do whatever he/she wants that is legal?
