this morning #1259.

this morning, i could hear them off in the other room. chatting it up but trying to keep it down so as not to wake the rest of the family. i have to assume that they’re chatting about me. that’s usually how this holiday goes. they say that i bring it on myself because of the way that i act. i don’t know about that. i’m just trying to be honest with them whenever something’s bothersome. i’ve gotten better at how i phrase things. i’m nowhere near as combative as i used to be. maybe that’s what they’re talking about. my changed behavior. maybe i won’t assume the worst. maybe this’ll be the first holiday in ages that doesn’t end up in a blow up. maybe i’ll actually leave here with something to be thankful for.
