What's on Your Mind

[Aike]

Going to visit my hometown/family in a few days. I always feel kind of awkward and reserved or restrained around my family. It's not even because we're arguing all the time or whatever. Quite the opposite: I barely share anything personal with them. And that makes me wonder because it's not that they're cold and judgmental people (well, my dad is a borderline case there..), I just simply don't communicate, and they don't really do that either. I haven't even told them about my sexuality, not because I'm afraid they would judge me, but because it would be just too damn awkward.
