Home Sweet Home

I like to think of my home as a private place; I still live with my parents for now. Sure it's noisy at times and kind of chaotic, but when it comes to something "just between us" it doesn't leave the house. I know that I can trust them and live a normal life. We can all be ourselves and not be ashamed or embarrassed by what incredibly random things we say or do. When i'm around my family i tend to do things that i wouldn't do in public places. On the other hand, when we have family get together with my mom's side...things are more uptight and strict. I have to "behave" and use perfect manners. When i'm with my dad's side, i'm usually the one embarrassed by the crazy things they come up with. Two of my uncles are stand up comedians and my other aunts and uncles can typically keep up.
For me, deciding when the proper time and place is to act a certain way is pretty easy to determine right off the bat. I've never had an "oops" moment at any special event. My private self and public self are almost identical. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I try my hardest not to be fake or judge others on how they act. Most of the time i can find a little of myself in all my friends and that's why we get along so well. I respect others privacy and don't push on touchy subjects. So i guess i can say that i have many private places...anywhere that i fully trust the ones around me; i feel comfortable enough to show my "private side". Of course, being alone in my bedroom gives me time to think in a quiet place, but as far as being my silly self, that's just about everywhere around here: my house, work, school, or hanging out with friends.
