Thanksgiving is coming up. I'm one of those lucky people to have my family close, a ten minute drive is all it takes. My family is very nice and always allows me to bring my friends who are unable to get with their family to hang with ours. Weird thing is that in a strange way I want to be that friend...
Maybe it's just that I get so much family time that I'm stupid enough to think that it would be nice to be without them, but I know that's not really it. It's some weird need to be independent. I guess in my brain that means that I have to be without my family for the holidays and spend it with my friends that are hopefully in the same boat. In the media we see all these people between the age of 20 to mid 30s and that's what they are doing. I feel like an outcast because of it. Thing is that most the people I know still live with their parents. No one is doing really really well and is completely independent with full time jobs, let alone good ones. Either way I have an odd want to be without my family for the major holidays when I should miss them most.
