"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a journey. "
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
I'm home! Since I've been here, I've been cleaning like a crazy person. Everything has been subjected to my cleaning. But now, I'm settled back in and home feels like home :)
I miss Austin though, already! I miss my room there. I miss being independent. But I don't miss the traffic. NOT ONE BIT. And I have my car back now, so I LOVE THAT. I guess it all balances out. I'm planning on going back on friday because I have a random child development final on Saturday. Also, I need to get the rest of my stuff. I forgot to pack the hangers so my clothes are still in the suitcase...waiting to be hung up and put away.
BUT my dearest friend Haley gets to go with me!! I'm extremely excited because there are so many things I want to show her and also, I'll have my car so there won't be any excuse not to go wandering through the town that has so much to do! Hopefully my best guy friends Clark & Emilio will be with us as well. What a great way to start off the summer with my friends :)
I've noticed, since I have gotten back...I've become so much more attuned to my brothers' emotions and needs. I've talked things out with them a lot, and eventually, I figured out their frame of mind on a lot of things. I love them so much and I would do anything for them. I want them to be happy and I hope that I help them if they ever need it.
Life is pretty ridiculous...you see something a certain way and you would think that other people would see it that way too...but sometimes, they dont. sometimes, they interpret it completely different! And then, it can make you frustrated but you don't want to piss them off by saying that their thoughts don't count. So then what? For me, I'm learning patience. I'm learning to ask questions instead of putting my two cents in. There are so many things that I want to MAKE my brothers see, but I know shoving it down their throats won't do anything. I think the one thing I am going to take out of Child development is that children growing up need to be talked to. You can't just tell them to do something because you said so and expect them to internalize why they should do it. Explaining things out and getting them to understand why they should do it is so important!
Anyway, that's really irrelevant but that is whats in my head.
Much love,
Kimberly
