Raw Life

A lot of my time lately has been invested in family. It seems like the older I get the less time there is to spend time with all of them. These days it feels like a rare occasion where I have a chance to see everybody. I suppose because when I was younger it felt like there was a family party just around the corner every single weekend. Although I've added more priorities for myself, family will always be at the top, and I try to take any opportunity that there's a chance to have some quality time. I know there's the typical "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," principle, and truthfully it really does. Any moment can't and shouldn't be replaced.

 I don't think I can ever get over my little cousin's obsession with bubbles.

Real talk, I need a bike. There's so many things I can do with it. Places to go, things to see that wouldn't be accessible by car. Plus there's nothing like a cross-training workout after a run every day. I hope I can scrounge up enough money eventually.
