my family annoys me. it's like everyone in my family is from a whole nother world that they choose to remain in and not try to mingle with the regular people. my brother thinks that he knows everything in the world and tries to make seemingly clever statements that make him sound philosophical and wise. stupid. it's unbelievable. and my parents are so out of touch with the modern culture that we live in. my dad's always at the computer when he's at home and he barely leaves his work room. The only places i ever see him in this house is in the kitchen, his office, and his bedroom. He rarely comes into the other rooms at all. it's like he's so engrossed in his work that he barely bothers to try to know how we're doing. sometimes he doesn't even know about performances i'm doing or what any of my big plans are. it makes it seem like he doesn't care about learning about his kid's life. he just doesn't care. both my parents are slightly anti-social too. they think hanging out with friends at a mall is a waste of time. they think tv shows are out to poison our minds so that we become mindless tv addicted junkies that do nothing but watch tv. it's like they don't know how to have fun anymore. i'm so sick and tired of being stuck with my family all the time. I seriously need to get my license ASAP so that I can drive away and get some time by myself or with my friends. my whole life is structured with school during most of the day then with my family after that. then most weekends its my family 24/7. nowadays i can rarely get out and being in such close proximity to my family is killing me. it's probably because my parents and i are from such different backgrounds. my dad had a horrible school life where he was constantly miserable. his family never had that much money because of the state korea was in when he was a kid. my mom was second out of four kids where she had 2 sisters and a brother who were close to her age. me, im a kid who loves his school and friends, who is privileged, and has no money problems. i have a brother who's about two years younger than me but sometimes seems like 10. i have a sister who's literally 9 years younger than me. I have nobody to connect to in my family. it frustrates me so much. it's like i'm stranded in a family where i barely know the personal lives of the other members. the sad thing is it doesn't even bother me sometimes. sometimes i just stay in my room all by myself and only come out for food. it's like i've lost touch with my family and i can't go back to the way things were before. it just frustrates me that my family no longer really bother to do anything together. all of us have our separate plans. my brother always goes to his friends house or something. my parents go off together with my sister to god knows where. i go to the movies or something. even when we're together in the house, we barely talk to each other. we're all in our respective rooms doing stuff by ourself. the only time we get together is when we're eating and going to church or something. sigh. will this ever get better?
