12/11/22 (#2)

the reason I started this blog is because I recently moved out of my family home and it’s been a tough transition. I love my parents, I love my home, I just love it. it’s cozy and I feel loved and accepted and I have a great relationship with my parents. I’m luckier than most and I know that. anyway, I could go on and on, but for context – I recently moved out, it’s been hard, hence, the blog.

today I went home home for Sunday dinner and we had pot roast and mashed potatoes and worked on our Christmas cards and watched Sunday night football. and my parents were telling me how much they miss me. I don’t even know what’s worse – knowing they miss me, or the idea of them loving being empty nesters so much that they wouldn’t miss me. and it made me sad because I miss them, and so we’re just missing each other. and growing up sucks sometimes and I’m just sad.

I don’t know, I thought I would be able to articulate myself more clearly but I don’t think I can. I shall return tomorrow.

things I am grateful for: my parents; pot roast and mashed potatoes; and unequivocally knowing I am loved.
