On the whole, I've been glad to be home, and I've had some really good time with my sister R (who's living with our parents again, so we're sharing a room) and my stepmum and even some good time with my dad. I should be happy with the good family time, I know that. But I can't help feeling hurt that I've been in town more than 4 days and my other siblings haven't come by or contacted me or anything-- especially since I just found out my stepmum and my sister K are out together right now. I get that they're mother and daughter, and they want time together just the two of them; I do get that, logically. But it makes me feel like my sister just doesn't care I'm around. They live in the same city, and I know K's busy but they have the option to see each other any time; I'm only in town a couple times a year, and I wish someone seemed to actually care about time with me. The three family members I've spent time with, it's only cause we're in the same house interacting; normally my dad suggests we do things together every day or two when I'm here, but in more than 4 days he hasn't done that once. My brother was supposed to stop by on Sunday before going with my dad to a party, and I was looking forward to seeing him, but then he changed his mind at the last minute and asked our dad to pick him up, which meant I didn't see him. He doesn't have a job right now so he's not exactly busy, but I haven't heard from him. Nobody seems to want to gather this weekend, so I guess I won't be seeing anyone until Christmas-- except my sisters have been planning a "sister Christmas" that only includes the 3 of them (and presumably my nephew and brothers-in-law), so I guess I won't see them then either. I know everyone's busy especially this time of year, but I want them to at least *want* to see me, and it feels like they don't care at all. I want to just be happy for the time I'm getting, for hanging out with R like I haven't in years and having a nice time helping my stepmum make a quilt, but right in this moment I feel too hurt to be grateful.
"To days to come."
"All my love to long ago.
I hope, we'll have more happy ever after
I hope, we can all live more fearlessly...
