on the drive home from my cousin's labor day picnic in pittsburgh. I really love and appreciate seeing my family, as much as several of them are extremely socially awkward and don't know how to hug, make small talk, say goodbye when leaving, etc. this is frustrating because it makes my partner feel unloved (she thinks it means they don't like her when it's more that they literally don't know how to show affection!) but I am still glad to be closer to my family than I used to be. I used to be closer to my friends in the church, and when they drove me out I 'resorted' to my biological family and finally realized how much I love and need them. not going to lie though, it's definitely easier to love some than others :P
