Family and home life

My parents are really religious and i have very opposing views. They expect me to have their views and want to be a religious person. Although this might not seem a lot to any person it is so much for me. The rules my parents have prevent me from getting closer to people who understand me and limit... read more

My family and I spent the first 7 years of my life and 9 years of my sister’s life in a social urban area. We had neighbours who were basically family and girls who were about our age next door.

My grandfather is about to die. He lives 17 hours away from me which makes it hard to get to him unless I’m flying. I don’t do well with death at all.

And to... read more
