Family and Belonging
Does everyone go through a phase where they feel like they don't belong anywhere? I've been away at college and coming home is so weird for me. I miss so much and feel so left out. I feel somewhat like a stranger in my own home. I'm just so different from my family. They're all so loud and they tease each other so much (it's a young family, I'm the oldest of 5). I'm more the introspective type and I love to read (all the others hate to read) and I'm not much for the teasing really. I don't fit in with them very well, you know? Hopefully this is a phase. I want to feel like part of my family. It sucks though because now I find myself wanting to go back to college just to get away from this feeling of emptiness. Am I the only one?
