Happy in the mean time.

I'm sitting in my dorm room writing this post and I have to say that I am very happy today. I don't know really why. Yesterday, after I had written here, my phone rang. It was my parents who live overseas. The last time I saw them was this past Christmas, but I don't know when I will see them or my siblings again. Most likely next summer after I graduate from college and my sister graduates from high school.
I'm abnormal because I love my family. I'm closer to my parents than to some of my friends. I mean, I have had my whole teenage rebellion, but I wasn't really rebelling against my parents. Those years I was rebelling against something bigger, but that's a whole different blog altogether.
What I'm trying to say is that I am close to my family. Hearing from them yesterday really made me feel a lot better. My parents couldn't talk long because they were on their way to one church, while my sister and brother were going to another church that started later. I was a little scared to talk to my sister because the last few times we've argued, but this time she seemed genuinely glad to talk to me, which made me happy. My brother--oh my god, my brother sounds like a man which is crazy. He sounded almost like my dad. I was shocked at how different his voice is.
When I hung up, I was sad, but not as sad as I had been before. This is life and I've got to get used to it.
I don't have anything philosophical or funny or exciting to share here with this strange void known as the internet. All I have to say is that I'm happy, and I hope you are too.
Have a wonderful day.
