| i said my family - this year's been so hard with them because i feel like i've outgrown their constant attention and concern, i want to grow up - because i can be, and when they're patronizing or condescending in any way it drives me crazy. at the same time, however, this is my last year with them and next year i'll be in california - quite far away from new york - and won't be able to come home for my sister's ballet recitals or my brother's soccer games...i don't know, i'm so torn |
