HEY! Sorry its been a couple days.. i think. I have been very busy. My sister just left friday, well I guess that would be yesturday... lol.. and I have had to work a lot. So.. About the title.. weight off my shoulder? Well, I got off of work tonight, about a half hour ago, and as soon as I am walking out the door I get a phone call.. From who you may ask? From my brother. He told me that he saw my blog online.. And by that point I was like.. ohh godd. and then he talked to me about how he accepted me and loved me no matter what and so did the rest of the family.. Somehow he said he knew for years and that he didn't care whichever route i go down, he will always be there for me and he doesnt want me to hide it and live with the pain of hiding it from them. So, I feel like that is a huge weight off my shoulder because I have always thought about what he would think and what he would do. i even think I wrote a post about that.. well him and my father... So pretty much yeah.. I think it is good that he accepts me and wants me to be me. YAY.. so anyway.. work SUCKED so busy and we got out late.. Lately I have been hating work more and more. I just want to quit and have life be the same as it was when I was little.. I don't know. But all I do know is after this summer, i am done, hopefully, with working there. Also, when I turn 18, January 29th, write that down because I will be quizing you guys after every post now, me, my sister and my sisters friend are getting an apartment together!!! It is going to be fun. Okay.. now I have to go.. it is 1209am and I still have to shower and my brother is texting me now.. so LOVE YOU ALL... BYE
Love Andrew Bennett <33
Well that is good news Andrew; maybe you are out of the closet a little way now. It is indeed a relief not to have to pretend around your brother but really you are the same old Andrew and sexuality is just a component of your life and shouldn't be a big deal. It is a process and no need to rush it. You can deal with it and your friends when you feel the time is right.
ReplyDelete-As I said before work does suck sometimes but having no money sucks worse lol. The key is to manage your time carefully to include your schoolwork and recreation. I'm not too sure about the apartment thing though. Keep in mind that you need secondary education after high school to get the specialized knowledge you need for a secure and decent paying job. The family support at home may be more helpful to accomplish that. Partying in an apartment is an education killer (I was a teen one time too lol). bfn - Wayne :)
It surely is a weight off your shoulders now that your brother knows. He is to be commended for his reaction.
ReplyDeleteAs to the apartment: Make sure the 3 of you sit down and write out every expense involved: rent, food, electricity, water, heat, cable tv, internet, the cost of getting to and from work. Will you have a car? If you aren't living at home, you have to have your own insurance! Whose name will be on the lease? What happens to your school enrollment?
I'm not trying to discourage you, just making sure you think about all the variables and pros and cons of living on your own. Mom's house can look pretty good when you add up all the money and things you have to deal with on your own.
Cool! Stay busy, keep your nose clean!
Peace <3
