So I feel guilty about not updating at all in December. I hate feeling guilty. In a way its why I hate being in debt (to anyone for any reason.) I also hate new years resolutions, but since I had such a great time over the past few weeks, I made one this year. Its not the typical resolution, I can’t stand people

And I’ve realized tonight that I have more un-resolved issues to reconcile than I previously thought. Thinking of the past, and fantasizing about what lives my previous acquaintances might now have, it makes me feel lazy, and unimportant.

While I’ll never be able to say it as eloquently or profoundly as I said it tonight in conversation, I need to find the context by which to be understood, that doesn’t involve any level of comparison to my siblings, because we don’t belong on the same scale, we’re not the same type of people.
