As I've gotten older, I've become progressively more of a control freak.

And this is interesting to me because as a kid, I was not a control freak at all.

And I was hyper aware of this because my mom is and was a control freak, whereas my dad, not so much.

And so growing up, I related more to my dad because he was more chill. And so growing up

with these two extremes, it was very easy for me to figure out where I fell on that scale. And I was

much more chill, much more like my dad. However, as I've gotten older, I've become more like my mom.

And now, as a 24-year-old, with an almost fully formed prefrontal cortex, I am a full

control freak.

This is a trait of mine that's really become visceral over the last few years.

It wasn't always there. Do you know what I mean? There are certain

personality traits that I've had since I was like a four-year-old. You know, I've always loved

clothes and fashion. I've always been a little bit rebellious. I don't like being told what to do.

I've always been pretty outgoing. I've always been an oversharer, somebody who

just talks about themselves with no bounds and no limits. Like there's certain personality traits

that I've always had. However, this is one that's a little bit newer. And so it's a bit

foreign to me. I mean, not really because I experience it every day. I am a control freak

all day every day in every area of my life. But it's a little bit of a departure from who I once was.

Maybe there's a chance that I was a control freak when I was younger too, but it just showed itself in different ways.

But I've asked my family, and it sounds like I was pretty chill, like it just showed itself in different ways. But I've asked my family,

and it sounds like I was pretty chill. Like I kind of just let things happen. I was much more spontaneous,

much less rigid with my schedule and my life. And I wanted to do well in school, but I wasn't like

so obsessed with it that, I mean, I was pretty obsessed
