   Most people think of Thanksgiving as a pleasant time to spend with family and close friends. This is not true for me, as I have the number of grievances with my family members. In the past, I found myself left out of the pack because I don't approve of the way they behave. A few of the members of our family, went forth to spread lies and falsehoods about our side of the family. All in the name of greed, and selfish desire would they do such a thing. One of my uncles, is far worse than what his parents realize. He pretends to be nice most of the time, but it's just a cover for the true darkness which exist deep down. He instigates trouble, spreads lies, and tries to outwit the rest of his family.
   In truth, the only ones I yearn to see are my grandparents who turned 76 this year. It seems like they're the only ones, I enjoy spending time with. I've even let them see some of my writing so, because I love them a great deal. Unfortunately, I can't say that about the majority of my family. I sustained a great deal of abuse at there own amusement, and I'm not sure if they even know how that's affected me all theses years. I find it fortunate that my grandparents we're always there when I needed them.
   Some people say I should appreciate the fact I have a good sized family, but what good is a family that doesn't really care about you? What good is a family, if they lie behind your back to sway someone's decision after they pass away? What good are they, if they make you feel left out? That's what's important, friends have always been better than my family. The truth is though, I'm always stuck in this infinite loophole of loneliness. I'm not depressed, just lonely. Maybe that makes me unhappy, but it doesn't make me depressed. Why would I still love the world and me if I was depressed?
   I often wonder what would happen, if my grandparents passed away? My guess is, my family would break apart and we probably wouldn't see each other anymore. Typically my brother is only come and visit whenever they want something. As far as my uncles go, I could live without seeing them. It's a sad thing for me to say, but even though I have family, they don't act like a family. I suppose that's reality, and sometimes you can wish for things that will never happen.
