Do you remember Macaulay Culkin in Home alone? I believe everybody have ever seen this movie at least once. When I was a child, this was one of my favourites.
In fact, I want to know if you like to be alone at home. Would you like to live alone?
My parents and my sisters live very far from here. They lived here for a long time, then they decided to live in other city and I decided to stay here. My sisters decided to go with them. In the begin, my father stayed a long time here with me, because he has an office here.
They come to Pelotas sometimes and spend a long time here. I always thought I'd like to live alone, but I've changed my mind. When we are younger, it's nice, our friends can visit us, we can make parties, we can sleep and wake up as late as we want. But now all of my friends are working and studying very hard. So they can't be here every week.
And I really don't argue with my parents. We get on very well, they are my friends. We go out, we chat a lot, we work togheter... And they understand my choises, so I don't need to get worried with them. I don't need to change my life when they're here.
And I really miss my sisters! I'd really like to live with them again, but I now it's not possible. My older sister has a baby, so now she has her family.
I remember when we traveled togheter. We had a little car, so it used to be very full. And we used to spend a long time on road. Sometimes we really fought, but we used to have fun. My older sister is very talkative, so she just didn't shut up! If there was nothing to talk about, she invented something. She is an english teacher, so sometimes she used to translate musics for us. And once she read "The little prince". All of it!
Now she is a hippie. And the other is a rebel. But she is my best friend! I usually say she is my soulmate! It's really good when we're togheter. We never fight! When I need to talk to someone, I just take the phone and call her. And sometimes she listens to me for hours!
Well, you may be not so intersted about my family... I just forgot and got writing...
I really want you to think about your families. I'm really happy with mine. Of course there are problems, but there is always something that we share. There is always a moment when we need them. It's very easy to put the blame for our difficulties in our parents, but we have to understand they're not perfects. And may be we will have children, so we will feel how they feel.
The truth is they're always by your side. But the problem is that sometimes they are not able to accept our life stile or our choises. Maybe because they didn't have opportunities. Or maybe because they don't know what to do, but they pretend to know!
Well, I hope you understand what I say. I know our parents are not angels, but we're not either!
Have a nice weekend. I am on holiday, so I can watch a lot of movies \o/

Hi, Juliana.
ReplyDeleteI can't image to live alone in this moment. I like to live with my family. I like when I arrive in my house and my sister tells me about her day at school, her adventures; my mother tells me about some problem and, in general, my father always listens to everybody.
About movies I watched "Amigo da noiva" this Saturday. It was very good.
See you!!
Hi Juliana!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Being far from our family is very difficult. I remember the first time I left home. It was in 2001 when I moved to Porto Alegre. The fist week, I cried every night until to sleep. At that time, I lived alone during one month and later my friend and I found an apartment. So, it got better. See you, Evelise
I agree that it should be nice to live alone in the begin(?)as you said to have freedom.
ReplyDeleteMy family supports me a lot but when I said I wanted to study Languages to became a teacher they dislike a lot but now they understand and also help me a lot.
For instance, after finish College I want to get post graduation and probably I will move to another city so in this point they really encouragement me.
And also there's a point in life we need to take important decisions. This is just one of them.

Hey Ju!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post!! =)
I liked a lot. It is a different topic!
Well, about your question, my answer is: Yes, I do wanna live alone!!!
hehe
I don't know why but I feel the need of living alone! I want to have my house and organize it of my way, you know?
If I could, I would be living alone now, BUT (there's always a "but" hehe) I'm not that independent yet! =/
Of course I like my family and I will miss them when I have my house, but this is the life, they're not gonna die, they will still be there and I will visit them as much as I can...
I've already said to my boyfriend that before the marriage I want to live alone. That's how I can see if I will be able to share a house with somebody else, I mean, my house!
So Juliana, I found some mistakes on your text, take a look:
*"have ever seen" - "have already seen" (I'm quite sure about it)
*"to know if you like" - "is to know if you like"
*"though" - "thought"
*"all of friends" - "all my/the friends"
*"with then" and "with then again" - "with them"
*"togheter" - "together"
*"she a hippie" - "she is a hippie"
*"There always a" - "There is always a"
That's it! Don't worry about the mistakes, I just told them for you to pay attention ;)
As bigger the text is, as more mistakes we're gonna do (probably)!
Kisses girl! Congrats for your post!! =)
(And sorry for the long comment)
Hi, Juliana!
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice to see when "free" ideas make a text flow... I particularly enjoy when you all write personal texts, because it is the opportunity I have to get to know you better! ;)
Well, see you in class!
