I woke in shock. It’s been a week, but I couldn’t believe I agreed to move to Vancouver with my parents. My parent’s wanted to leave the US and since my mom was born here they found their ticket out.
I’m Audrey. I’m 23 years old, training to be a high school teacher (Canada pays their teachers more! Woooo, quality middle class life here I come!) My parents are mostly progressive but since probably before I can remember they would not stop talking about how I should “Wait for marriage.” Goddamn, I didn’t get married at 18 years old, it’s a lot harder for me not to express myself.
Unfortunately, the indoctrination since childhood has held me back beyond clothing choices and low and behold I’m 23 years old and still without my first sexual experience. I didn’t know it when I woke up, but today was going to be my lucky day.
