after months of planning the runaway from my parents expectations. The day have come where I, Lina Vikram am going to escape to a better place, a place where I am aloud to be free and fulfill my dreams without getting judged. I can become a singer. I hope my parents know that I love them, I just dont want to live he life they planned for me. My dream is to live in Los Angelas and pursuit everything I want with my life. I am a 18 year old girl, my parents came to America from India to fulfill 'The American Dream'. But they didn't let go of their cultural traditions, even though they waned a better life for them self and me, they still stuck to the expectasions their parent had for them. The strict rules, high educational expectations, nothing below an A being okay etc. I am tired of the limits not being crossed, I want to push the boundries and show with hard work anything is possible if it makes you happy. Maybe one day they can realise that having a controversial job can turn out good. We are going to eat dinner, and I can't avoid my mother talking about my college plans, "so wich college are you going to choose" she said, and I answered with no interess in this conversation "I am not sure yet, there are too many choices and i cant pick one", maybe because there isn't a college that fits what I want, I thought to my self.

It is 9 pm and I am in my room pretending to study, so my parents wont disturb me. Everything is packed and all I am waiting for my parents to sleep so I can sneak out. I am taking three bags with me, one with my laptop, hygenical things and makeup, another with clothes and a little hanbag filled with little things, a waterbottle, gum, wallet, passport etc and papers that i signed for the lease of the new apartment with my cousin. I am taking a bus from Portland to Los Angelas tonight at 1 am. Then my cousin Serafina is picking me up from the bus station and tacking me to her apartment. She ran away a few years ago, my aunt and uncle was heartbroken and tried to get her home. They never got rid of her stuff, i guess it was too hard for them to loose a daughter, and feeling they did something wrong. But I am gonna leave a letter that they will find in the morning. And by the time they find it I will be long gone. The letter says; Dear mother and father. I ran away to a place where i can be myself, where no one is pressuring me and making me feel wrong.
