My sweet sweet helicopter parents

I love my parents more than life itself, and when I didn't live with them, I would find every excuse in the book to stay with them. Though now that I'm in recovery I can fully say I will be so glad when I won't constantly have them next to me at every waking moment of the day. I love when they are there, but we have been having WAYYYYYY too much together time. Take for example these things called 'Kennedy Nights' I have had these nights since I was in middle school. It's the nights when my parents go on date night, and I am left alone. I love them. They consist of me getting dinner door dashed and watching 'Teen Beach Movie' by myself while taking a tub. It's the best, honestly highlight of my week. Now however, I am not only not allowed to have Kennedy Nights', but I now have to go on date night with my parents and their friends... Not to say their friends aren't awesome. Though the day I will not have to hang out with a bunch of 50-year-olds will be a good day :)
I also wake up very early every morning. My dad would do it when I was young, and I never really understood why. Like why not sleep in?! Though I realized that it is such a peaceful time. Like the world is still partially asleep and no one is around to pull you in different directions. It is a simple bliss, and I love it. Though now, I am met every morning with my dad to make my breakfast. Which is nice, and one day I will miss it. Because he won't be around forever. I know, but the day we can do like 3-4 times a week we chat in the mornings rather than everyday will be nice.
All I want at this point is a little less helicopter, and a little more pals again like we used to be. I always remind myself that I'm going to miss it so much, and I really do realize that. Though I liked how we were before. When we were a team, but a team that could be apart for more than five minutes. hahaha.
