ok, so here's my problem.
i'm from louisiana, so when hurricane katrina hit
i moved away for the school year and lived with
my grandma. i loved it there. everyone there was
so nice and welcoming and it was just easier living
there. see, i don't have the best family life so being
there made that seem to go away. anyway, i've been
back in louisiana for a little more than a year now
and i still hate it here. i would do anything to live back
in alabama with my grandma. i miss everyone there so much
my grandma who is the greatest person in the world is
there, my boyfriend who i love more than anything is
there, and my best friend is there, along with countless
other friends who would do just about anything for me.

it just makes too much sense for me to be there.
whenever i visit, it feels like home, and when i'm at home
nothing seems right. ever since i've been back home, i've
been either crying everyday, or lately i've just been
angry and irritable. i'm just so homesick for that place.
i don't know what i should do about it anymore. i tried to
talk to my dad about it last summer, but he just gets mad
when i talk about that place.

well, the problem with talkin to
my grandma or anyone else in
my family is that they know how
i feel, but they just aren't willing
to contradict my dad or argue
with him about it.

yeah, i mean he loves me and doesn't want me to leave him and i understand that completely. that's why i haven't thrown a fit about living here. but its just i feel that its so unfair to me to have to be in a place that makes me unhappy when i know of a place that where i can be happy.
