Yeah, I've been away from Cali for 3 and 1/2 years...gaaaah. My one family member I get along with and care about is there (my sister), and I haven't seen her in that time.

Now, as far as leaving away from all forms of family then coming back, well, thats what happened with me when I went to boot camp (6 weeks), and I hate it here 100% more than I did before, and everyone seems to treat me ten times as s**tty as they did before I left. Nothing feels good about returning to my family...at all, and being back in this crappy place called Oklahoma just makes it worse. I'd rather be homeless on the streets of LA then live in Oklahoma. Everyday its just another hollerfest of how stupid and worthless I am, and such. Lovely, ya?
