I'm tired of people not understanding me. I'm tired of feeling like an outsider with my family and tired of being questioned for every decision I make. I guess my life is completely out of the ordinary. And since unusual things often seem bad, I probably look a little peculiar. I feel like everyone thinks my life is foolish when it seems perfectly wonderful to me. I know I'm making the right decisions. Why doesn't anyone else? I'm having a hard time learning to be an adult in my decision making - separating my decisions from what other's say about them. My Dad said that I should seek wise counsel (which I often to do a fault), but that I get to decide who that wise counsel is. I suppose that if someone who doesn't understand me at all tells me what to do I shouldn't necessarily take it with much weight simply because they're older than I am. Ah me I feel alone.
What a self-pitying little post.

dearest Dani,
hang in there. I'm praying for you and I think you are making wonderful decisions. keep pressing on for Him, that's all that really matters. I'm totally here for you!
I'm not going to say much about what you wrote in your post, as I don't really know where I fall on the spectrum of Dani-Understanding or whether this has anything to do with certain recent phone conversations with our mother.
What I am going to say in this post is that we have a super cute single-button green corderoy jacket at the store right now that I almost bought for you, but decided to wait. So, because I'm afraid to buy anything for you, you must come shopping the weekend you get home. Because it's the only time you'll be here, and it's my last weekend of work. For now, we'll ignore the fact that it's tax-free weekend, and therefore, hell.
PS - Luke and I are going to Six Flags next week. I'm way excited. I have a "buy one get one free" coupon you and Izzy can use if you want.
