Journal #18 My family (from an outsider point of view)
This morning my boyfriend woke me up very early. He sat on the edge of the bed and said "come here, quick!" The sun was rising, it was very beautiful, so we contemplate it until the sky cleared.
A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have woken up in a good mood. I mean, yesterday we had a wonderful evening. We listened to Ricky Martin (we both like him xD), The Killers, Ben Harper, Jason Mraz, NSYNC, covers of our favorite animes, we opened a bottle of champagne, we saw the first chapters of 'Fuller House', we ate ice cream. It was beautiful but we only got to sleep five hours, I was tired.
One of the big reasons that today my life has even more happy moments and I can see things in a new way is thanks to my boyfriend.
I always thought I could be right and that things could be my way forever. Which is not wrong, but there are better ways and I trust Miguel to be my other pair of eyes to many things.
I always say that he's talented, and he is. But the best thing is that Miguel is sincere despite having a big dango heart.
So, as promised, all week I was thinking about what topic to write in my journal. I came up with a couple of issues, but the easiest one was to write about my family. The only problem was 'Oops, it's my family, how long would this entry be? I'm biased!'
Miguel has been living with me for almost two years, so one night I told him I wanted his help (OK. He's not an outsider, but he's not biased, not even about me). I don't have a family portrait of us, so I thought I'd draw us in a fun way (and there's nothing more fun that draw us in hamster version!) so I told him to guide me and while he looked at me, we talked.
Here is the drawing I made with Miguel eyes. Aren't we cute? lol
Knowing who is dad and mom is easy. My little sister is the hamster with the monkey (that's the way we call one of our dogs) and the tiny hamster's me, the eldest daughter.
According to Miguel, my dad has become a man he admires, he is very intelligent, doesn't say much but he's observant and mature. Dad is always working.
Mom is the person who helps us the most, she's always in a good mood and nobody knows how. She works, takes care of the house, her daughters, her father, her friends, she is in everything. That's why she has found her way of doing things and she likes that her daughters do the same way and her descent for the rest of the centuries, amen.
Paola is very intelligent academically. You can talk about many issues for a long time with her. She's proud of everything she knows and everything she's obsessed about.
I'm an artist. I'm short. I always smile. I cook well. I like photography and I love dogs and all animals.
Miguel's in love with me but likes my dad more than me... even my mom. I have yet to mature lol.
Of course, this drawing is not complete. Both my parents and my sister say Miguel is missing and you don't know how happy that makes me. I have a very loving family.
