So, I've been moody lately. Nothing new there. Most artist (of any kind) can get that way. But my moodiness isn't good. I'm irritated with my brother. And he doesn't need that.

I'm almost 25 and I'm living with the 'rents. Don't hate. I just graduated from college and I'm here until I can save up enough money to get my own place, which should be soon. Anyway, my brother (who is 16) is going through a time in his life where he is major depressed. Now, I went through something similar when I was his age but nothing this big.

This has been going on since August. And I'm sick of it.

I feel selfish. Horribly so. I'm not a mean person. I'm nice to people. But my parents are so focused on him, they won't even listen to me just talk anymore. EVERYTHING goes back to him. I'm feeling slighted. I had a great day a few days ago. I have a potential job offer that would work with the degree I have (Theatre) and I am so psyched! And all my parents do is say, "Wonderful. Now about this problem with our son...".

I understand their concerns. I really do. It still hurts, though. And I don't have the guts to say anything. *sigh* Oh well, I'll get over it.
