Ms. Independence: On the Road to Independence

I thought being on the road to independence would be so simple. So not the case. Why can't it be simple like following directions to a recipe? If there was only a book or something like it, I'm totally there! Because I'm so insecure, I feel like I can't handle it. I need help and don't mean support;  I mean I need my folks, my 'rents, my padres, or simply put, parents! I can't reiterate anymore than I already have, but sometimes I don't think I can handle it. Even when I do the simplest things on my own, I don't think I can do it. I think it takes guts to be independent; I don't think I'm all that gutsy enough.
