Singing on the monitor and rocking in the chair

Well yesterday was Easter and it was nice. Well kinda. Parents had both sides of the family over and Bunny ran around with my younger cousins. As I watch them grow up I realize how much older I'm getting. I tend to wonder when when will they move on to make their own families and how much smaller these holidays will be.

I'm from a large family and well I enjoy (though they are taxing at times)the holidays so I can catch up with people. I get to see how my cousins are doing as well as my aunts and uncles. As time moves on, those little families are now larger and they are off to college and trips. It's interesting to see their chances to leave college.

I'm a bit jealous but well I know I couldn't go off to college. Mom had gotten a job at the college I went to and I was happy. I wanted to stay on campus and I knew we couldn't afford it. Yesterday, I heard my aunts telling me that they wanted me to off to college. They thought that I would have developed and grown in a different way, and not be so dependant as I am now on my parents. I understand where they are coming from and I appreicate what they have to say. In retrospect I wish I had but well we can't change the past, only look to the future.

I know that I am dependant on my parents. I'm not exactly proud of that fact and I'm trying to change that with the position that I have now. I guess it's just time that has to show if I can make it on my own or if I can not. I know I can and I'm striving to show people that I am independant, just right now I have to keep peace so that in time I don't burn bridges with those that I love.

Well have to get back to work, I'll right later.
