I'm really pissed off right now. Okay so this is what happened; my cousin Marta is always sitting around, eating chips & watching TV. She hardly ever goes out & when she does she hangs out with Theresa, who has anxiety. So basically they don't go anywhere. Today I told her she needs to get out & do something fun, because you only live once. Then she angrily stormed off, which caused my grandmother to get mad at me. I was just trying to help. I'm not going to apologize for telling her what she needed to hear! Anyways, my grandmother & I had a conversation...
Grandmother » Why did you have to say something? Why couldn't you just leave it alone? She likes how her life is.
Me » What life? She doesn't do anything or go anywhere! I want to help her. Staying home 24/7 is no way to live.
Grandmother » Stop it. You can't be that honest with people. It hurts!
Me » So you'd rather I lie?
Grandmother » Yes! Or don't say anything about it.
Me » Well sorry, I'm not a liar. I tell people what I think. And guess what? The world isn't made of happiness & rainbows, sometimes people need to hear things like that. Even if it hurts them. But to be honest, I think shes just a little too sensitive.
Ugh, I hate it here. I wanna go home tomorrow. I'm most likely gonna spend the rest of the night packing. I can't stand how I've been treated. Its not just this situation either. I've been living in fucking hell. I'm sick of it. I can't wait to get home to my quiet little apartment, where I can relax without the sound of bitching.
Anyways, on a much happier note...I seen my father today! He came over for supper, then we went out for ice cream & visited my cousin Ethan. It was a lot of fun. I'm gonna ask him if he wants to stay at my house for Christmas break. We had a lot of fun last year & I'd love it if he came back this year!
Well thats all I have to say. I'm gonna return comments & get a snack. Goodbye!

Ohh grandmothers :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so protective of there young ones, no matter who is picking on them - even when it's another grandchild!
I would have said the SAME thing and I totally agree with you. I have a cousin like that I always try to get her to go out and do things but she never will. I don't understand how people can be like that, I HATE sitting at home doing nothing!!
Ack! My grandmothers both get pissed off really easily. But yeah you're right, she needs to get out and do something. I have the same problem with my mother: she's an anxiety-sufferer so she doesn't go anywhere. But she's also a hypochondriac and likes people to feel bad for her so she makes up that she has all these illnesses like agoraphobia when she doesn't.
ReplyDeleteFinally after me and everyone else in the world pestering her about it, my dad, the person that REALLY mattered, said something. You can bet she changed at the drop of a hat.
Anyway enough about that. Haha.
Being honest is speaking from your heart :)! Don`t ever give that up ;D. I agree with you, it doesn`t hurt to get some fresh breeze and see life as it goes on outside of home ;D! Hope your father stays for Christmas!
ReplyDeletei know people like that, it's pretty depressing isn't it? maybe after the initial pissed-off reaction she actually thought about what you said? sometimes people do that kind of stuff.
ReplyDeletenice song choice btw :-)
