There's something terrible about coming to this town on vacations.
I feel out of place.
This is not my home.
But my brother is here, and I miss him so much. He's sitting on the floor, a huge history dictionary in front of him and his laptop open. He's scratches his ear as his graze is on the TV, which has some military show on. I miss being around him. It use to be just my mom, my brother, and I. And now, we three are all in different parts of the state, and can't even come "home" to be with each other.
Everything happens for a reason. I am certain God has a path paved out for us if we just walk it. But sometimes, I don't understand why my tight knit family of three started to unravel when I was 12. My mom said she let herself go on her 40th birthday when her mother announced she never wanted her four daughters. My mother is amazing and strong. I miss that about her. I just miss her in general. But I just pray that someday, maybe things can be different. Maybe I can see her, at a house that's her own. Maybe one day, my mom will be happy and my brother will learn to forgive. Maybe, we can all be happy and together again.
I just miss so much about the past. And being in this town, only brings out the scars I have forgotten about, the things that turned into dreams from long ago.
I am different. I am changed.
No one here can understand I suppose.
I was a star puzzle piece that fit perfectly, and now, I am a different shape and so, I no longer fit, and this annoys people. I am not the singing spot hogging star I was in high school. I am no longer the girl who loves competition and would cream anyone who was "beneath me". I am different. I no longer want the lime light, I just want happiness, and I thought this light was my ticket out of my thoughts and away from others.
God has a plan, for all of us. But I have to learn that there will be many changes, getting from point A to point B is not at all easy. I have to wait things out, life is about changes and adapting to them.
I don't want to live in the past when I come here. I want to live in the present.
I trust that God has plans, and I pray he guide everyone.
But for now, I have found a home on earth, and that home is in my friends at school and my boyfriend and all the families that have been in my "new" life.
I am blessed, but sadly, not with patience. : P
