Just a Post
Wow it's been awhile since my last post! Didn't even post for the new year!
My semester is now officially over. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. But it does give me the drive to want to really put all my efforts in next semester to make up for.
Gosh, despite my grades being so average, I feel like this whole semester has been so busy. I joined a group at school which has been pretty fun. Things with the family have been pretty crazy. The people I've met within my group have helped.. I've been able to hear and see what they have dealt with and been able to overcome, so I feel much better about my situation and know I'm not alone. Billy has been going with me and I know it's helped him too; we both have crazy families.
My brother has been my little bundle of hope through it all. He's my other half. He's expressional while I've been more silent throughout my life. I've felt exactly what he's felt, I just never said it out loud. The sweetest thing he's ever said to me is, b/w those exasperated sighs before you're about to cry, "Sis-sister, you're so strong. I'm not strong like y-y-you." Maybe not that perfectly stuttered, but you get the point. Hehe. But he really did say that and I just didn't know how to respond. I just hugged him and told him everything would be ok and that he would be strong just like me one day too - I said that b/c when I said, "But you are strong!" He looked at me like yeah, whatever, rubbin' his eye and trying not to cry. I love that he expresses his emotions though. I would keep those tears in when I was his age. I don't think it means strength though. I probably would have cried more and said more. I just felt like I couldn't. I'm glad I make him feel comfortable enough to know he can cry and tell me what he's feeling if he needs to.
I guess I'll post more later. I've been wanting to thoroughly clean my room and now that finals are over, it's time to go take everything out!
Hope everyone out there has been having a good day :)
