Do you ever wake up in the morning and find an empty house? It happens to me a lot lately. It used to be disconcerting. But now I enjoy the solitude. I'm not bothered, people aren't in my way, there isn't any noise.
My dad has an office at home. I'm not really sure why though, he never uses it.
My brother still has a bedroom here, but he moved out two years ago and got married this past summer.
We have a living room that I have been in twice because we only go in there on extreme occasions.
We have a dinning room that we have never eaten in because we eat in the other dinning room.
Maybe if the house was smaller, I wouldn't feel so alone in it.
Except really, I don't mind feeling alone.
I'm not found in much of my house. Odds are, I'm in the piano room, or my bedroom. Maybe the kitchen or pool room.
I always used to think that the best part of vacations was sharing a hotel room with Paul.
I used to like sitting and watching TV with my dad.
I used to want to have my friends over and hang out in the basement.
I used to wonder when my mom would be home from the store.
I like the solitude now.
Sometimes, I like feeling alone.
Because sometimes it's just easier that way.
Next year, at University, I get a roommate.
I am having some mixed feelings about that.
Dear William Hagendoerm,
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you so much for your kind words on my speech. We're taping everyone's speech, so I'll definitely be putting my speech up at some point or another. ALSO, thank you SO SO SO SO much for allowing me to quote you. It set the mood perfectly for what I was about to say. Legit, it was fantastic, so thank you!
SECOND, just go to Carleton slash Redeemer, and William will be your room mate. I'm sure you two will have plenty to talk about. (If you two end up roomed together one day, I will laugh SO hard. And say that God truly has a sense of humor.)
Third, I got accepted to Carleton. Another reason to go.
Fourth, you are an amazing singer. The Fray are amazing and everyone should be forced to listen to them. And your voice is so beautiful. I just want you to serenade me for the rest of my life, please and thank you.
FIFTH, you're fantastic. That's all.
Sincerely,
Hannah Van Dyk (:
