Family Ties

My room is completely rearranged! Had a great time fighting with my dad while doing it. :P Felt like tearing my hair off of my head. Was busy most of the day. One more week to go. My desktop has conked off. It refuses to remain on for more than  a minute. I think now I gotto call someone to fix it. Could have tried taking it to office and fixing it but too much hassle and also would end up wasting Suman's time in office.

I have never understood how it feels to be not appreciated by your own family in the way you want to. My family has been great as far as appreciation is concerned. There have been the occasional comparisons with other kids and there have been times when they have felt let down, but I have never felt not appreciated. I can only imagine it and sympathize with those who have had to face such situations.

If its someone else, like your boss or your friend, you can actually get away from them. But what do you do when its your family? When you know that at some level you love them and they love you too (you imagine that atleast). How long before you can take it no more? Can you leave them to live your own way? Would that be termed as deserting them?

I wish I had answers for these but then again I am fortunate that I don't, unless ofcourse there was some other way of finding answers to such things without experienceing them first hand.
