Well hey there. How was everyone's Thanksgivings? Great? Great! I'm so happy for you all! I'm glad that everyone got to enjoy a day of fun, family, food, and football. Everyone, that is, except for me.
So. Thanksgiving. My family usually has turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, some kind of green vegetable, and lots of other stuff. Since I don't eat meat I end up eating the potatoes, the vegetable choices and the dessert. Well, welcome to this year, when all I ate was peas and olives. Yeah, you heard me right. They did turkey [that's fine. I can live without meat...obviously], sweet potatoes [gross], cranberry sauce [not so much], peas [I dealt], a relish plate[meh], and a random ass autumn pie thing. What the hell. My family is usually perfectly predictable. Why did they change it all up?! I got no yummy food, I got no say in the matter, and I had to deal with family making fun of me for not eating meat. It wouldn't bother me so much if I had a say in something and if my family accepted my choices. I choose not to eat most meats. I don't want them to deprive themselves on holidays, but they don't need to make fun of me. Yes, turkey is basically the same as chicken. No, I don't choose to eat it. Deal with it. I'm sick of standing up for what I do and don't like, and I'm sick of not being accepted for it.
I'm the complete opposite of my family. They are the typical Southern family. That's great. But I mean it when I quote Belle and say that I want much more than this [provincial] life. I know I'm different. I've survived being different. I want to get the hell out of here and live my own life. I want to be able to be myself. I want to be able to visit my family on occasion and really appreciate what I have. Being this close to them all the time makes me sick of them. I miss them when I'm gone. I love my family. But I hate that I have to hide myself from them because they wouldn't understand me. Fuck my life. I hate being a Debbie Downer. This is just a bullshitty day.
