Family*

One of the joys of having young cousins is the constant reminder that teenage pregnancy is not a viable option in life. I could never be a mother right now. I like children, I really do, but when the day ends and it's time for them to go home, I could not be happier.

I'm at my aunt's house at the moment on Christmas break and it's just so great to be with family. My family is really into Christmas, which is a little weird for me because I'm not the biggest fan of the holiday. However, I'm loving every moment of it.

First of all, it's great to finally be in a house. As much as I love my room back at the university, it can definitely feel like a prison cell at times! I don't know, there's just something refreshing about knowing that 1) there are other people around and 2) I have room options. 

Secondly, I love cousins, especially younger cousins. It's fun to just hang out with kids sometimes. I seriously think that they have a better approach to life than adults. Life is not complicated and there's no need to make it complicated. I also love how they look up to me, I feel responsible and like I should be a good example :). Most of all I love to hear their little laughter :)

Thirdly, I don't have to cook! I don't have to do laundry! I don't have to go to the supermarket! I just have to wake up, go downstairs and eat. (It's only for a week, I'm sure I'm allowed to indulge a little!)

Anyway, it's almost 1am! Don't want to miss breakfast tomorrow! ;)

G'night.
