The Parking Lot
I stood in the deserted parking lot and thought of my brothers. Having spent the entirety of my life with one and sixteen years with the other, it's hard to be away from them. College is new and thrilling and life-changing, but sometimes I don't want new or thrilling and least of all life-changing; sometimes I just want to drive to Wal-Mart with my brothers for no reason at all, cracking wise all the way there. There, in that deserted parking lot, as my girlfriend offered whispers of comfort, I cried. And the world was still beautiful.

I'm really glad I was there for you, Christian. Even though it was so hard for you to think of the past with your brothers, it's nice to see that you still saw some positives of the world. I know you miss the past, but don't worry yet about the future. You have a strong enough relationship with your brothers that they will always be there for you, no matter how far apart you guys are. They love you so much, even if they are guys and don't say it. :)
Twas a very good first post, dear!
Change is hard, but everything worth having is worth fighting for. Sometimes we have to make the hard choice to leave what is familiar, but often when we do that we step out in faith and we end up meeting God there. Hang in there man...things will get better (maybe not easier). See what God has to teach you now. It's worth it...trust me.
