eh,
it happens, ya know? everything can't be happy-nice. it's kind of gagging.
i personally like the flare-ups, it reminds me that this alive, not just
some flower off growing somewhere.
i come from a large family, i hate conflict, but i like knowing that
things are ok aftwerward. i like knowing that i can say what i need to
say. and sometimes, someone will just put up with what i say, because they
care. and sometime someone will be boring, and i will listen and talk to
them anyway. it's family, i guess.
and families argue. they're made up of humans.
i like it that way.
(:
i'll stop being so... sisterish now.
