I miss my family...

As I finish up my second week of being the graphic designer at Kerstin Florian, I have come to terms that eventually things will get better. It's hard being the new kid in town. I can't live in the past anymore. I have to stay positive, have an open mind and give my step-family a chance.

I have to admit that I miss the family lunches where we gossip about celebrities as if they are our best friends, pick on Steve when all the shrimp is gone, wish that we weren't having rice and beans again...most of all just being able to eat and enjoy my lunch with good company. I miss the random Mo and Cathi singing and dancing shows in the hallway with Tina as the opening act. I miss the way Janae says my name when she needs help with something.

Things are just different here. Believe me when I say that the first week of work at your new adventure will be really hard. I don't know exactly what it feels like to have my parents split up...I am guessing this is the feeling someone goes through. The feeling of being forced apart from your sisters and not being able to see them everyday.

A wise lady told me last night that this struggle will only make me stronger and the best thing that has come out of the situation is meeting a group of wonderful, talented and hardworking people who will always remain as my second family.
