So for all of my life I have been what i consider a part of a "unit". Since the day i was born i have had my twin by my side. Always there. We are what i consider the closest bond two people can have. We know each others thoughts, emotions, reactions, and abilities. I have never had to really rely on anyone else because my other half has always been there. That is why i can honestly say I have never really known what it feels like to be a singular person. I have always been a unit and not an individual. Even when going over seas we went to the same country and lived only 2 floors from one another.
In these last two weeks though i think i have gotten my first taste of what it feels like to possibly be an only child/individual. My bro has been away for basically two weeks so i have not been able to hang out with him cause he has been working at his job at UCI. This is the first time i have realized that i am having a hard time thinking of what to do with all my free time without my brother. Each day i wake up and i can't for the life of me figure out what i should do with myself. I even ended up going to see a movie by myself cause i just was bored to death. So far all i have really done is exercise, watch movies, play games, and sleep in. Haha, doesn't sound bad right? Well after 10 straight days of that i am just itching to get a textbook in front of my face to keep me buisy.
In conclusion. I now think that children/independent individuals have it tougher than me. I have had it good for so long, not really having to try too hard to make friends or keep relationships cause i have had a perfect friendship with me at all times. Little bit of a reality check for the double trouble in life this week.
So, I can't say that I fully understand how you feel... But after having lived a year with roommates that were actually my friends for a year... Staying home all summer in an empty house really sucks! I get SO bored SO fast! By the way, if you really have nothing to do, you could join Trisha, Jenn, & I tomorrow :D We're going to LA to watch a play... I'll give you more info on Facebook :D
