Communication

Its the food, water, driving force of all relationships. Without it, relationships die. Sometimes when taken the wrong way things suffer. In one of my previous posts, I mentioned the fact that we take after our parents in ways we may not even realize. So as I look at my life in its current state, and the people around this is an ever-present very consistent aspect. I looked at my relationship with my dad, and it doesn't really exist. We don't talk really. Not for any real reason either. We just never did, and we both continue along that path. With my mom, it was similar situation, and near the end her memories were fading so it was even more complicated. So that leaves my brothers and grandmother as close family. I look at how I relate with them and its similar to that of my parents. I share what is going on in my life, on paper: Work, school, new purchases, failed road tests. But not much more. These blogs, which family never see, can get pretty personal and I touch on things that I almost never bring up in person/conversation. These blogs are my way to counter the usual potentially non-deep conversations. But things are gonna change soon, and I guess that change will start within.
