Family. If Only You Could Choose Them.

Warning: this is a semi rant about one part of my dysfunctional family.

My aunty is being such a douche right now.

Two months ago my grandmother died of bowel and stomach cancer. We found out and then she died maybe 5 days later.

They live 3 hours away from us so we'd made multiple day trips down.

My aunty is taking it pretty hard. but she's acting as if it's only her that's been affected. Her and my mum's brother flew over from Australia to be at my grandmothers bedside. And he was the one to inform my mum that her mum had died.

Via text.

Not a phone call. Neither of them thought to ring mum. My aunty didn't even bother to call or text at all.

So my mum has to live with the fact she found out through an impersonal text that her mother had died.

Add to the fact mum's biological father died last month as well.

And here's my aunty carrying on like a unemotional twat, like she's the only one affected by everything.

Grow up and live with it. yes it's hard. But there's no need to carry on the way she is. Not even sending Christmas cards like every year. Most people like to cling to the things they do everyday, they like that bit of normalcy. Not her. She's being overly dramatic and the thing is, it's hurting my mum.


And I hate seeing my mum hurt and sad.

*gag* lulz

So I found this quote today, sifting through my files on my new laptop after putting my back up of everything on it from my old one. It's one from 2005 I must have used on something like a blog, or I don't really know to be honest. I've dated it though.. Keep in mind we do our dates the logical way.

"7/5/05: A girl asked a guy if she was pretty, he said no. She asked him if he wanted her, he said no. She asked him if she left would he cry, he said no. She turned to leave, he grabbed her arm and said… you're not pretty; you're beautiful. And I don't want you; I need you. And I wouldn't cry if you left; I would die."

If only that guy existed... I kid, I kid. It's nice to speculate but I doubt a single human being could really be like that, let alone recite it. Even the most emotional woman could never utter that on the spot. The quote itself is gag worthy in all it's sappy lovey dovey-ness, but I'll admit, it's cute. It garnered an "awwwwww" when I read over it.

I like finding stuff I found interesting or worth keeping years ago, you can reminisce, so-to-speak and compare how you were then to how you are now.


Hindsight is a beautiful thing too.
