Cruel World

Well, home can be lots of things. But, I think that home isn't A place of happiness or despair, but a maker of depression, boredom, memories, and love. Home to me....Is like a stab in the back with my sister, and my dog. My dog is every trait you imagine a coyote has. She always bites, is never nice, and attacks my CAT! My sister? She is your worst nightmare. Attacking you for no reason even though she’s supposed to be more mature than you, but no. She is a life ruiner, a bond breaker, a twisted mind that is too far out to be reconciled with. In fact, my opinion about her is of how she ruins everything, saying “oh my Ggod” to everything she has to do or “Shut up,” after she slams her door on our parents. Simple. I can never catch a break from her in my home. She mocks me for being Gay, she always hits me so hard it feels like she broke something in my body. It feels like my hip was malfunctioning and couldn't really move, well, as you know it? Max, my cat, comforted me in the time of pain. But sometimes, she could be kind, but it's very rare. Like seriously I cannot catch a break! But my dog will bite you in an instant if you even caress her collar. She is the moral imperative of this family. It’s like she hates you and loves you at the same time but she is always such an inconsiderate piece of ratata, PLUS SHE TOOK A DOODOO IN MY BED! But my cat, Mmax? He is the most respectful creature on the planet. I swear it’s like he thinks we're his pets, but in reality, he’s obeying everything we say. Unlike my dog, Max is really sweet and kind. He always comes to lay down beside me in my bed and cuddles me in a way that is weird but cute. For instance, he lays on my stomach in a ball as he purrs while I pet him. Besides, in other words, he likes to play with me by like, basically hunting my foot. So what i'm saying is like i put my hand out of my covers on the edge of the bed for a second then pull it back, I have to do this multiple times until he jumps up, grabs my hand with his claws, and bites down on it! But don't worry, just some scars, they go away real fast. “Tis like a pleasant sunny morning. Birds chirping. The Sun gleaming through the banisters on thy windows. And your cat, laying quite so peacefully beside you that one might say he’s having too much of a good time.” Is what i would say if it was happening right now. I love the fact he’s so attentive and considerate. This was in the 5fth grade, I had recently broken up and I was, well, depressed. And Max came into my room while I was sobbing on my bed, and started cuddling me and putting his head against my shoulder as an ich spot. I was in love again! (with my cat but not romantically, like a cuteness overload). We lied down together, side by side. Depression almost cured, but not quite. My house is quite the domicile with three chandeliers, a kitchen that looks like a bar, and my room is just kinda plain. I recently re-organized it and here Is a pic! I love the shading of it and the design but I could go for something more like….I don't know? Preppy? And I love the fact that home is a place where you can relax and have a big back life.
