Dear Diary, I went to California to visit my elder sister for a while and I got to spend time with my nieces and nephews. It sucks that I don't get to see them all the time. I don't have the luxury of just walking over to their house and seeing them whenever I want. The night before I left we all made letters to our future selves. We made a time capsule and buried it, we're planning to dig it back up in 5 years. A lot can happen/change in 5 years It's kind of scary to think about. I'm 19 and there's so much I need to figure out, it's so stressful. I'm really close to my eldest niece, she's 17 and when I left back to Oregon I cried. I'm so attached to her that it hurts. She makes me so happy, i'm so lucky to have her and when i'm with her I like to cherish every second I have with her. Every time my sister and her kids come visit me and my family is when i'm the happiest. The hardest part about them visiting or me visiting, is when I have to say goodbye. The goodbyes always hit me so bad.
