new respect

I came to a new respect with my aunt today. for a while, i honestly thought she was stuck up and cold and cared for few people. today i realized that was not the case and that she in fact delt with the same thing i had to. the only diffrences being, she never knew her father loved her, and shes been dealing with it for a long time. also i dont think shes an old soul so she doesnt have the calm tendensies that i do. Anyway. After 60 years of dealing with that im not sure she really is cold, just steeled from the world so she wont get hurt. i understand that and sympathize with it. actually i dont really need to. i know. So now when i look at her, i see myself, years from now. its a very real possibility. and im happy i now understand fully the situation. i like getting both sides of an argument before forming an opinion.
