I saw a portion of my family again for the first time in two years, and normally when I'm around family I feel as though I'm around acquaintances, and when I try to talk to acquaintances I have trouble carrying on conversation. I never know how much they want to know and I don't want to bother them so I end up shortening everything into generic not in depth sentences ending in nods and laughter. I'm always afraid to say what I'm really thinking, articulate what I really believe, or speak with my own vernacular. But today was much different. I felt much more at ease, I felt like I was seeing old friends because I was, and I have this feeling that I'm coming into my own and donning a confidence in who I am. I think I'm growing up, getting to know myself, and stepping into my skin.
