Lia's Inner Sanctum

part 2 of the weekend -- my thoughts and feelings
So, here's the deal. K and I have taken a step back. I haven't decided whether this is good or bad yet. I see both the pros and cons about it. We're working on being better friends to each other, and I'm working on putting more effort into myself, and just myself.

But during dinner on Saturday, apparently, over the course of events this past year, his parent's attitude towards me has cooled. Not on any account of anything that I've done to them or not done that I know of. But it was my comment about my no longer having respect for my parents. I kinda know where they're coming from, but they have no idea where I'm from. But K does. K knows the entire story, and knows about it.

Krxi thought I was exaggerating at first when I first moved in with him, but as he said it, the screaming voice mails she left me, her blantant disregard when I tell her I need to go cuz I have to get things done, and them insisting on taking my School loans and controling it, handing it back to me in chunks as if it was their gift to me kinda changed Krxi's opinion of my parents. He understands why I don't respect my parents. My sister's wary and knows what not to do when she takes out HER school loans. But I feel like I'm being judged for my reactionary role in a very very VERY bad parent-child relationship.

So over the weekend, I went shopping, and I bought myself a promise ring. It serves a dual purpose. It was originally going to look like an engagement ring to ward off any unwanted advances. But i fell in love with this one when I saw it. It's true to my beliefs-- I'm anti-diamond. The whole Diamond mining operation in Africa and how diamond prices are controlled apalls me.

But it's a 5 stone ring. I accomplished one stage of my life in 5 years. And I'm determined to do the next stage in 5-- No more than 5, including any wait time.
