Sooooo im really excited about all the things going on in my life as of now!
I got rid of old baggage that was getting me down and now im just looking to move forward.
I hate my roomate shes a crazy woman but its a nice place to live.
I had a conversation today about my family situation and i told the person i was talking to that i hadnt seen my family in a good three years. When they asked if things get hard and if i was ever sad and i said no i felt like i was wrong for feeling that way. I feel like because society has taught people that family is so important we should be devestated that there not around. Why? Because those people are blood related means nothing when it comes to them judging you and abandoning you. I feel like you should be able to choose who your family is. I believe that it is better to be surrounded by people who you know love you rather then those who are only doing it because it is thier "obligation". I dont know perhaps im ranting but isnt this what its all about?
please let me know if you feel the same way. If i am not alone in the brainwashed society.

Family relationships are unique because in some capacity there is a history of dependence. So, you have a complex situation and it probably doesn't have a simple answer.
Last summer I was living in Shanghai when I got news that of a terminal illness in the family. I returned home right away to help my family through it. I don't care what they think of me - that's not why I came back. I'm needed, and so I had to decide if it was worth it. For my Mother, it is worth it.
For you, maybe it isn't. That's your call. No, you can't choose your family. All you can do is choose who you are and whether or not paying respect to another person, even a family member, usurps paying respect to yourself first.
I hope that made sense and helped.
