I feel like my parents don't relate to me well anymore. Every time I talk to them my mother talks about my sister and then really doesn't know what to say to/about me, so she blames stress for a few health problems and then moves on... same with dad. I just wish sometimes they took a genuine interest in me, I don't always know what to tell them. I also am trying to be positive and I don't think any of them are in a positive mood, given what's going on in their lives. It just ends up making me feel lonely.

Being married. Here's a topic I haven't touched yet. A lot of the time, it's almost as if nothing's changed from before. Jarrod and i eat out, go shopping, do our thing. The name stuff hasn't happened yet so that doesn't even feel real. There are times when it feels perfect, he wraps his arms around me and everything is as it should be. Then there are other times where I feel like I've lost my individuality, an escape route, and that scares me. I'm not sure which feeling will go away, or if any of them will.
