No Matter What The Circumstance, You Are Still Family

Even though we seldom talk, family is forever.

First of all, I'm sorry we haven't really talked.

There are a number of circumstances to this, but it kinda sucks if you think about it. Some of it is that we got out of touch and never really reconnected. It was hard to understand as a child but now as an adult it makes more sense. Since it's around the holiday time right now, I'd like to wish you a happy holidays. I hope you aren't alone for them, but if you are, make the best of it. We have both missed out on some pretty important events in each others' lives. For you, I graduated high school. and went to college out of state (and it wasn't Ohio State, sorry!) to Alabama to go to the University of Alabama. I plan to get my degree of Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and become a trauma nurse. For me, I know that you had to put your beloved dog down. I remember when you first got him, his name was Frank, and you used to call him Frankie. He was a black and white miniature Australian Shepherd. He used to love to go and chase tennis balls in the backyard. Now, you aren't the only member I haven't talked to really. I got out of touch with her after my grandmother died, and I know she is now engaged and I hope she is happy and doing well. Then to the other member, we really never talked before (well we did and it was very seldom) but I hope you are not lonely. I know that you were never much of a social and people person, but being alone is one of the worst things to happen to someone.

Now to the family who made it their choice to not talk to me; I hope you are happy with your decision.

There are circumstances to that, but to cut someone out of your life because you thought they were apart of something they are not of, that is sad. I cannot hate you for doing that because it would just make me a bad person, but I forgive you and hope that you can see in your heart that you made a bad decision. In the meantime, I will pray for you. I don't want to become a spiteful person so I will continue to love you as family member. And I will never hate you or treat you of anything less.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
