Ahhh... it feels good to be home this time =) It's been nice spending time with the fam and friends. My little brother has grown so much and it amazes me, he's a young man now!!! And not just a little brother! I don't know how to explain it, but if you have younger siblings I'm sure you know what I mean. So strange, but fun =) He cares about my well-being and actually EXPRESSES it. And will pay for things for me.. I mean, it's still my parents' money, but the gesture is nice haha.
So far this break I've been relaxing, eating, lazing around and sleeping in (which feels delicious haha), hanging out with family and friends, and watching TV. I went to LA spontaneously for a day and a half and just ate, went to the Getty, and shopped a little. The food was really yummy and it was fun exploring a small part of LA while listening to Weezy F. Baby for the entire duration of the trip hahahaha
It was so strange, while we were walking around the Grove (a little outdoor shopping plaza with some yummy food stands) there was a group of Asians (I think a family) who were walking right next to us and kind of surrounded us for a brief moment as they passed us. In the confusion, a little boy who was probably around 5 years old latched onto my hand because he confused me with his mom (who actually looked nothing like me, she looked super fobby). The weirdest part of this experience was that my fingers instinctively closed around his, kind of like when you poke your finger into the palm of a baby's hand and it holds onto you. And, on top of that, I felt this need to help guide him back to where he needed to be, which was with his mom. So weird. I don't think I have any sort of maternal instinct, so for me to react that way is strange to me.
Some potential resolutions:
- Work out more/become healthier... I am quite fatty right now, and my clothes are uncomfortable and don't fit right and blahhh blah blah
- Be less antisocial and talk to/make an effort to see my friends more... I have not been that great of a friend lately =/
- BE NICER!! I have been so grumpy and sort of stressed out lately, well actually less stressed out and more frustrated than anything else. Poor Amy, you have to deal with most of my complaining and frustration, I'm sorry =(
- Go to church on a more regular basis
I am ready to start the new year with a better attitude than I've had the past few months =)
