you know there comes a time in a person's life when they think that their parents have lost touch with reality and have no idea what your life is like. you completely throw out the window their experience because our lives are definitely and completely different. we have absolutely nothing in common. if you haven't figured out i am being sarcastic by now, i don't blame you. sarcasm on screen isn't a very easy thing to do. i have been holding on to so much. i finally broke down in front of my mom and made a futile attempt to explain the struggle i have been going through between hating humanity and this pissant desire to have a genuine friend that can depend on me just as i can equally depend on them. oddly, the parent i least expected consolation from was able to put my feelings into words and minister to my heart in less then fifteen minutes. it wasn't my mom. it was my dad. he understood everything just like that. he gave me a hug. prayed for me, and made the pain go away. if you knew all that has gone on between me and my dad, you'd realize what an epic moment this was. they say there is nothing new under the sun. that word came to life today as my father explained his own struggles and feelings identical to mine. i know there are some God awful sucky parents out there. but mine aren't. today i am truly blessed. dad, this one's for you. those, dear readers, are my unscientific observations on the wise confounding the foolish.
