Family
I think my family is bipolar. Which is funny for a lot of reasons.
Today my sister and mother ragged on me in a full out shouting marathon about how I am a loser because I'm not at school, I don't work, and I hang out with high school students. Also I'm a terrible person to have around because my belongings are "dark". My sister even told me that I my friends and boyfriend do not actually like to hang out with me, because I'm such a loser. I felt really trapped because my mother was right there with her. When I yelled I was even threatened with getting kicked out again.
Later we all sat around the room and discussed how to make living in a small house easier. Then we talked about our feelings and what stresses us out. This is really nice and all, but unless we all get lobotomized it's not going to happen. At least we calmed down enough to learn that my sister knew she didn't mean what she said about me being a loser. We even said nice things about each other. I'm eccentric and skinny. Thanks family.
When I grow up I will:
Go away when something makes me want to scream
Have a kitten or two
Let my children learn whatever they are most interested in
Have mismatching furniture
Drink tea in the morning
Listen to loud music when I clean
Never read self-help books
Cook pad thai and random foods
Let my children draw on the walls of their room
Press seaweed
Still find the reproductive cycles of gametophytes interesting
