I need artwork for my house. Can you come pick it all out?

I love what you have done with the office!

Ouch, what you got from your family sounds painful. I kinda understand how it can sneak up on you and jerk you back and make you question yourself.

I kinda understand. My brother and I were talking last night about how some of our extended family were always trying to make us feel less-than in a similar way. We were talking about how, to this day, certain situations trigger us and suddenly suck us back to how we felt every time the family got together. Some people just don't like it when your balloon gets filled with helium and they only got air. They keep trying to pull us back down and deflate us. Didn't work with me. They just never got to come along and experience flying high. They are still on the ground all these years later, looking on.
