Why It's Better At Home Than At Josh's

  1. My sisters are there. It is weird to wake up in the middle of the night and not hear them breathing. It scares me until I remember where I am.
  2. I don't worry about breaking something expensive.
  3. I don't worry how I look when I get ready for bed.
  4. Everything is within reach.
  5. I know where everything is at home.
  6. I don't get nervous.
  7. When I'm home I don't miss my sisters.
Which is why they came over after school and had dinner here. Josh helped me make homemade whipped cream to go with dessert. Okay that's a lie. It was my idea but he did all the work because I had to work at the diner until 7 pm. Dani and Alex got to Josh's house before I did. When I walked in they were all just hanging out. I could hear them in the kitchen and it was nice.

What happened to your family was horrible, but at least something nice to come out of it was the closeness you share with your sisters.

When you and your sisters make your own comfortable home, of course you will be together. You will be less anxious when it is your own home. And you will be wise and not waste your money and will make a home not with useless things that are so expensive that they cannot be enjoyed but rather with belongings that are practical and sufficient and meaningful and beautiful and the valuables you will be able to have out will be priceless memories not available in stores and not with unnecessary space for the sake of space but instead with the right balance of uncrowdedness and proximity of both people and items.

The picture of you coming home to a warm kitchen filled with your sisters and Josh is beautiful. May you have a home like that very soon.
