Night Owl turns to a Morning Bird

 So, I've been staying at my dad's house for 4 days now and believe it or not, I've not seen my brothers! I saw Wei on the first night we moved back cause he was home on a Sunday night.

I heard his voice though as I'm a light sleeper and I wake up every time I hear something so I'm pretty sure he's still staying here haha....

Also survived free time by doing readings on my kindle. I remember when I was younger and bought myself my first phone (which was...

Then slowly turn her head and...

Outsider

I feel like I don't matter to people who matter a lot to me.It wasn't the first time I wasn't invited to a family dinner. It wasn't the first time my family and I were excluded in a joyous celebration. Yet it hurts so bad. Like, so so bad.I can never get used to it. I mean, how can one ever get used to being... abandoned?One might say that, oh, it's a fine dining place and there's no suitable food...
