It's all healed up

Well, here it is, the healed up tattoo.

Gotta run, I'm off to a bachlorette party - fun fun fun :)

Wondering how...

How is it that two people can grow up in the same house, with the same fucked up* environment, and see things completely different?

My brother and I went out the other night. We are both seeing a therapist, each a different one, and we are both dealing with stuff from our childhood. We discussed things that affected us, and much to my surprise, they are as opposite as they can be.

Even though there is only three years difference between the two of us, it seems like we grew up in a completely different house from one another. This got me thinking about the things that affected him. Yes, they were there and they weren't nice, but why have I pushed these to the recesses of my mind, not thinking about them again until he mentioned them? It was the same for him, he never let the things that bothered me, bother him.

Why is this? Is it the age difference? Was it a gender thing? I have no idea, but I think we both turned out pretty well considering :)

* When I say fucked up, I think that every family has something screwy with them, some are just different than others.
