I have an over-whelming feeling of guilt right now. I feel like I’ve taken my parents for granted. I kind of slack around the house, I know I should make more of an effort but sometimes I just can’t be bothered, as horrible as it is to say. I really want to start doing my bit, I’m going to start doing the dishes without being asked, learn to cook for the family and not just for my self, do my over-flowing bundle of ironing that I know if I leave my mum would do for me and just generally do little nicer things around the house.

My brother is moving out soon. I’m glad that I’ve got a room all to myself now but it still makes me a little sad. I’ve been thinking of all of then freedom that I will have that it never really hit me till tonight that I might be lonely without him being there. Hmm.
