My Aunt...

A few days ago I recommended writing in a journal to my Aunt.

I have always been very close with her; probably the closest out of all my family members. We have shared many laughs together, as well as many tears. I have learned more about life and its trials from her than from anyone else. I have also learned that love comes in many forms.

Of late, she has been going through a relationship breakup. Just before Christmas last year we said that 2012 would be a year for change, and it has been. Her (nearly 10 year) relationship is coming to a close and it has been a struggle for everyone. You can't go 10 years having someone in your family and then have them not be there. The situation is messy, and this is just one more life lesson for me to learn.

On a spiritual note, life has been difficult. I have been running into a lot of judgement from friends and family. My family think that I should still be going to church, and my friends don't understand that I need some space right now. This is definitely not a high point.

I've got some new reading material for the next few weeks. And next weekend should provide ample opportunity to get some of it done :)
