I'm so tired. We celebrated my Grandma's 85th birthday at my aunt's house today. It was pretty cool, my aunt has a pool so there was much swimming and enjoyment

*HUGS* The main reason why politics doesn't get discussed in my family is because half of us are along the lines Democrats and the others are basically Republicans. Plus, none of us really like arguments/confrontations. It hurts knowing my mom and oldest sister will never see my point of view on some issues, so I tend to avoid them. In short, you have my deepest sympathy and understanding.
Yeah, I am just always so accomodating that for the first time it's like I WANT TO EXPRESS MYSELF!!! ROAR!!
Eh, but yes I know how it goes with a lot of people. My Mom and I are different in the political area, but we're both okay with it. It's only really my outer immediate family that don't know me that well in those ways that are crappy about it.
Thanks for the support babe, I appreciate you responding, the support is fantabulous. :)
You're welcome, sweetie. ^__^ You're one of my oldest friends on here and I've been there, so I couldn't not respond.
When I was in Virginia, visting authoressnebula and her family, it felt so weird to be among people that all agree with each other when it comes to politics. O.o On the other hand, it was really nice to speak my mind and have more than two people agree with me. LOL
Families can be rough. I have sometimes argued a bit with my parents about things they don't understand. Like gay people! :((( Which makes me so sad, my parents are generally super sweet and kind people but even they can be ignorant about some things. I feel like they understand better than they used to.
ANYWAYS, part of my comment was to ask you, have you ever been diagnosed as having anxiety? You sound a lot like I was right before I finally started taking some medication for it. Everything social stressed me out to the point where I would obsess over conversations.
Haha! Yes, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and I'm supposed to take the meds. D: I do take them in the winter because the depression can get bad. Ohio is like really really really gray, and I am a dweller of the sunshine. In the summer I don't feel like I really need them. Usually I don't, I'm really emotional, and right now a bit crazy-fragile in that area because of the job situation, but in general the summer months usually don't make me need them. *shrug

omg that icon! LOVE IT!dauntdrawsJune 14 2010, 18:55:36 UTC
Oh holy crap, I reread my comment and was like...baffled at how weird I sound in it. I was TRYING to offer some comfort and just wound up talking about myself!
It's awesome you and your mom have a good relationship. It's great you two can agree to disagree and respect each other's thoughts and beliefs.
I actually was born in Ohio and visit every so often as I have cousins there. It's really gorgeous there! I used to love how the storms would sweep in so fast...
Don't worry too much about your aunt. Honestly I've felt that way before but then I think back to things family and friends have said to me that make me go 'wha??' but it didn't make me stop loving them, you know? Maybe thinking about it like that will help? It would be great if they could see your point of view but even so, I bet they just find themselves disagreeing and won't think much of it a few weeks from now. <3
