My dad gave me dishes for Christmas, mugs and saucers and little plates and big plates with pretty flower patterns around the borders

Oh I'm so jealous. I wish I had that with my family--that desire to always live in the same house as them. It's so great that you can have fun with them and be glad just to share space with them, but honestly, when you move out, that's all that's going to change really. You won't be sharing space with them. If I know your mom and Sarah, they will be visiting all the time, and your brother... Well, I don't know about him, but he's a teenage boy, so no one really knows. Lol

Awwww. I didn't mean for this entry to come off as sad. Really I didn't. It's not the moving out itself that I find so difficult. I mean, it is going to be really hard because I've spent so much time in this house so close to my family. But getting my own place will allow me to be more independent and spend more time with you guys, which is definitely happy. I think it's just this whole not knowing where I'm going thing that's got me all out of sorts, and maybe that came through a bit too much in this entry.

And lol at the last part of your comment. When I get my own place, there will be kitty cats. Just sayin'.

I told you earlier today that I'm feeling strangely sentimental for some reason. i don't know why, but I am.

This is beautiful. It made me almost cry. I don't have any magical words, but I know you, and I know you will figure it out. You have a lot going for you and I believe in you. I truly do.

*hugs.*

I'm feeling strangely sentimental lately, too, hence this entry. Honestly, I think this was going to demand to be written soon anyway, so when the topic came along, it just kind of worked.

Awww. Thanks. You are awesome.

[scriblesnbraile]

Awwww, thank you.

Sounds like you have a safe nest from which to fly. How exciting ( sometimes scary) to take that leap, though. Beautifully told. I really liked it.

[scriblesnbraile]

I do. It is definitely both exciting and scary to contemplate taking that leap. And thank you; I'm glad you liked it.

I have every confidence you will figure it out, I am 40 and I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up (realizes that might terrify you)...er...but I have had a really good time getting there, cause I like you have a great family.

[scriblesnbraile]

Lol, that thought does terrify me a bit. But seriously, your comment really gave me something to think about. I think if I would stop thinking so much about where I'll end up, I'd have a really good time getting there, too. So thanks, and thanks for reading.
