Thank God, I live a relatively anger-free life - that is such a blessing. I can't really think of anything friends of mine have done to anger me. Of course, with parents, there are "bigger issues", but on a daily basis, we get along - I put a lot into making our home a loving environment, and I used to think it didn't pay off, because it seemed like my parents were not reciprocating, but now I see that while the change took a while, it did come - which just shows that you should always try, and that even if it seems like you're not getting through to someone, don't give up - it might just take time. Also, big kudos to my parents - as human beings, changing ourselves is one of the hardest things in life, but my parents did it when they saw it was important to me.
I wrote this to a friend of mine about being back in NY, and wanted to share it with you (I don't really know who reads this blog - but whoever you are - Hi. Happy Thanksgiving.)
Being back here reminds me of everything I love about the city and everything I hate: The beauty, the energy, the culture - the decadence, the obsession with aesthetics and appearances - this city lights you on fire and consumes you like a flame. And the more she burns you, the more you love her for her passion.
