As I sit here in my chair, shivering from cold and staring at a blank computer screen, I come to the realization that I don't tell anybody anything of importance
( Read more... )
I've found people that still think of me as Cacies little sister
Ok you probably already know this but... (If Cacie reads this it's nothing I wouldn't feel comfortable saying to her but she should feel free to contact me for clarification)
I love Cacie. I do. There's a lot to love. And I'm immensely relieved that she seems to be growing into herself more comfortably now and healing some of the more dangerous tendencies she had strayed to. However, as much as I like Cacie...
When I first met you and Lindy and Cacie - everyone was crazy impressed with how talented and smart Cacie was and I said "Yes, she is, but damn! Look at this kid Jordi!! WOW!!!"
You have a smile that lights up your whole face. I admit I don't know you well but my sense even then was that you just had a very open and loving personality. You were incredibly smart for a 3 year old and I have no doubt you still are (last time I met you I certainly got that sense!) You are charming and passionate and - yes - you are talented too! You have a good strong voice albeit with less training perhaps than Cacie has had, still, a fantastic natural instrument.
I remember 16 - I had NO idea what the hell I'd do with my life. I wanted to do everything, see everything, learn everything... to be honest (not to scare you or depress you) it wasn't until I hit my 40s that I realized I really *knew* what I wanted to do with my life. Not that I frittered my life away til then, a lot of what happened to me led up to where I am today.
16 doesn't mean you aren't smart, it doesn't mean you aren't passionate and opinionated and even wise sometimes. And it doesn't mean you can't impact the world! So don't let anyone tell you that. There are some good things that come with age (thank god!) but each part of life has profoundly good and profoundly difficult parts.
I admit, I'm lousy at keeping in touch even with people who are really part of my daily life (like my siblings and step children!) but you should know that I have a tremendous respect for you and am really enjoying watching you progress through life. I just wish you lived closer. But then, I'm crazy about your Dad and stepmom so naturally I wish you ALL lived closer! (er... you are still in MD right??)
Yeah - mew - you sure are long-winded! Er... this really could be summed up by saying "hugs"
(and I really enjoyed Siddhartha - have you tried JD Salinger's "Nine Stories?" I particularly remember loving "Teddy.")
