more on that last subject...
It's really ridiculous for me to feel like I have no family, and I do know that in my brain. I have more family than most people and I'm truly very grateful for that... between michigan and blood... all that fucking irish catholic blood... I'm really really lucky.
But the ties to my blood family just keep snapping, and that's mostly what I'm saying when I say I feel like I have none. Nobody with my blood lives near me. I have no pictures of them. I don't speak to them very often. When I do it's often difficult, regardless of how much I love them or respect them. I hardly even talk to my mumma when we're living so far apart, and it takes its toll.
But i do need to say, out loud/in type, that I know how privileged I am to have such a large family. Just to be clear.
