The want that kills
I sometimes get the feeling that all is not quite right- that more is expected of me, a more that I don't want to give. I don't always think I turned (or am turning) out like I am supposed to. I saw a family on Sunday and oh, I would give anything to have a family like that. They loved each other, and that was made perfectly clear by the way they acted towards each other. They weren't embarrassed about showing love to their siblings/parents/children in church. There were about 5 children, with the oldest being about 19 and the youngest being about 7 or 8. They really really loved each other. And I saw it, and it almost made me cry. Why aren't we like that? Have we deviated from love like that for so long that we can't go back to it? I know if we did it wouldn't be the same, it would still be awkward, whereas it wasn't here. I want that. My family love each other all right, but we could never be as amazingly open about it as the family from that place. And it kills me.

my family isn't loving at all either, it's mostly arguing. i don't think i've ever seriously told my parents i've loved them since i was little, as in... under grade three.
