My family from Vegas have been here since Thursday and, even though we haven’t done much, it’s been an awesome past 2 days.
I really missed my cousin’s company, he’s truly the only person I can be myself too. I admire him so much for keeping a level head and always pulling through every rough situation, he’s great. I mean, don’t get me wrong it sucks that he’s mormon and all now, but if it makes him feel happy, I’m happy for him. I guess the only thing that bothers me is that I wonder if he thinks I am… less than? I hope not.. especially for being gay… god.
Anyway, it feels so weird seeing how much we’ve grown up in the past 5 years. We went from doing chores to get a mere $40 bucks for public transportation, dollar menu food, and window shopping, to pretty much buying each other whatever we wanted/need. I mean, between the four of us, we’re not rolling in a lot of money, but it’s enough to do the things that we always did a little more glamorously. It’s nice, really nice.
It’s funny to think about how in the next 5, 6, or even 7 years, it’d be even more different. Some of us would be in a stable career, settling down, married, parents, and whatever else older people do. Where are we going be? Is our sibling-bond going to be as unconditional as it has always been? Will we be what we always hoped we were as kids? I hope so. At least, I know we’ll never grow up resenting each other like most of our family does. There’s really no bond stronger than the bond between us 4 and it we can only grow stronger.
