Look who's back on livejournal!
I'm back, and such a long time it's been! I came back on livejournal today because my cousin was over at a BBQ today for Fathers Day and she happened to mention she had a livejournal. So, after they left I figured I'd check it out and maybe say hi. What I found was this long, hateful post about how she has always hated our family - my mom & dad, me and my brother! Wow, I never knew she felt that way, and frankly, it's just hard to imagine she can garner so much hate towards people she barely knows! I'm not gonna repost it or anything or go into too many details because what does it matter? I don't care if people don't like me - everyone's allowed to have their opinions. But to judge me on choices I've made in my life without really knowing the reasons behind them is just not fair. Her main criticism of me was that I came home from Penn State because I was "too afraid" to be there on my own. She never once asked me why I left, nor did I even think she cared. I left for a lot of reasons - yes one was that it was too far away from home, but does she know that I lived in a dorm at the school I transferred to for a while? Probably not. The main reason I left was that I was not in the major I wanted to be in. I wanted a change and I actually took a semester off to figure out exactly what I wanted that change to be. I decided to switch my major to marketing because my ultimate goal is to have my own business. Does she know that? No. Does she care - apparently she does, I never thought she did.
Anyway, there were a few other things like that that she has judged us on without knowing anything about where we were coming from. Whats amazing is that I really enjoyed seeing her today since we haven't seen her in like 5 years. I always really liked her and I was really shocked.
Well, just for the record, I wasn't gonna tell any of my family about this. I didn't think it was necessary. My dad happened to see me staring at my computer looking upset and there ya go. lol. Why should we care if they don't like us? My dad is making a big deal about this now - I know he's really upset about it. I feel worse for him than I feel for any one of us. I think he's gonna e-mail her (and maybe even her mom/his sister) to confront them and I REALLY wish he wouldn't. If he needs to, thats fine I guess. I'd rather not be involved.
I'm going to an award ceremony at my old high school tomorrow night to give an award in memory of my cousin Scott who passed away last year. In light of all that happened tonight and that were doing this for Scottie tomorrow, life's too short for this crap. (Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend). (of course I had to work in some Beatles philosophy - it wouldn't be me if I didn't, hehe).
Talk to you all soon! I hope everyone reading this (and I really do mean everyone) had a fantastic weekend!
Hare Krishna and Namaste!
