I go through these periods where I’m more conscious of my family. Ever since I went to college my parents and siblings have not been very entwined with my life. It isn’t that I don’t love them or enjoy myself when I’m around them, it’s just that I went to college and never looked back. I get down on myself from time-to-time because I don’t call as often as I should nor visit enough. My parents would do anything for “us kids.”
This morning, I realized a role my parents do play in my life. They are always there whenever I have something exciting to tell someone, or when I’m confused or angry and need to talk. This is selfish, I know, but right now there is a definite void in my life when it comes to close friends who have known me for a long time. If I’m excited about something, who could I tell — someone who would honestly be interested? I could call a couple friends, but my parents are always there — and they are interested. For how long, I don’t know. I thought of people who truly have no one.
