Aaron's observation:
"I've never met anyone more awkward around their own family..."
Family party today.
Waste of fucking time.
I don't think I actually believe too much in family; not in the way we're taught to do. I believe in choosing those dear to you. I choose my sisters (but only barely), I choose my brother and sister-in-law; I still choose my parents-- but beyond that? No thanks. I see you all once a year and I'm expected to feel something?
I choose my dear friends and consider them family. I consider Aaron's grandmother family--but none of the rest of them (well, I suppose Eric, despite how all that ridiculous shit went down when he lived here with us...)
Forget the rest of them. I wish them no ill will, but I feel nothing for them; no stirrings of kinship; no well of emotion or bond.
