"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”

A bit personal approach today. I love my family. We're seven in total, and I wouldn't have it any other way. But we aren't the typical family to say "I love you" to each other. It's just there .. hanging in the air. We all know it, but we don't actually say it to each other. And I guess I sometimes wish we were a bit more open with our feelings. But then again, there are probably people out there who wish for a less open relationship as well. We always wish for what we don't have. About an hour ago, I sat down and decided to do some schoolwork, but something was itching my brain. My mum told me earlier today, that my sister was ill (flu and heartbreak supposedly), and I felt a bit saddened, but I pushed that feeling away. But as feelings do, it crept up again. I ran downstairs, dialed my sisters phone, and waited. She didn't answer, and I was afraid that she'd died or something. But about five seconds later she rang. And then we had a chat for a few minutes, a bit more than usual .. as I tried to have a earnest conversation. I didn't want to be like "Hey, what's up? Yeah? Okay, bye". But we joked about our weird family, and ended the conversation at last. I felt good, and it inspired me to write. It's easy to walk around and do our usual routines. Go to school, work, or whatever you do. And you forget about the great picture. In the end it doesn't matter how successful you are, if you don't have any loved ones. Wow. I feel a bit like Shay Carl expressing his feelings. Oh well, I'm being honest. And you know I am.
