I have been feeling obligated to create my own blog ever since my sisters started theirs! :). A lot of my feelings about life/family/friends are similar to their thoughts. Family has always been the most important factor in my life. I remember wanting to cry every time I left any of my parent's or cousins (after a long week of fun).
I met my husband years ago (six years ago...I think?:)). Strangely there was something about him that I never felt for anyone else (love, lust, happiness haha). Being that we are not allowed to have "boyfriends" in our culture, I always had to make up lame excuses to go see him. I always felt SUPER guilty lying to my parent's, and if I was going to hang out with him for more than a night, I felt even more guilty! I have a lil' brother that I love too too much, and he was my teddy bear each night. Every time I left to see my husband it was him I missed the most!
I never realized how important it was to have sisters until I met people who didn't have a sister, or had a sister that they were not close to. It makes me so sad that indians favor having sons versus having daughters. I know that my parent's really wanted a son, but after three daughters, who wouldn't hehe. They treat us no different than they treat my brother, and now that we help out so much and always show that we love them...they appreciate us girls a little more.
Family is the most important factor in life for me, but after family comes work. It's strange, right now I work for the Financial Aid Office at UCD, but all I can ever think about is going home. We spend more hours (awake) at our jobs than we do at home with our family or friends. This is why I find it so important to find a career that I really love. I was always against pursuing a career in the medical field as an undergrad, but after getting married and taking a few anatomy and physiology classes, I realized that I really LOVE it. I wonder if it's possible to have a career you are passionate about, and still have a family life...I am going to try my best and do what I can do. I know this post is all over the place...but my thoughts are really all over the place all of the time!!! nite nite
