Dinner is a time for families to gather around the table and enjoy a meal. This is a time where good news and even the bad news are shared. Coming from a large family, dinner time is always a time that we all take a break from our crazy lives and talk to each other. The older I get, the more I appreciate the moments and memories that are created when my family can all be together.
Now that I don't live with my family, dinner time isn't that special. Meals consist of fast food and anything microwavable. When you eat a meal with family, it always end up with some laughter. Now, if there's laughter it comes from the television. The table never gets used and my meals are always lonely.

| Being far away from family can be lonely and life can seem slow, but my meals are always fast. |

| I would dream of the day I moved out. Now, I dream about never leaving. |

| Staying hydrated is important, but not sure if Mountain Dew is the solution? |

| On a Friday evening, I prepare a romantic dinner. A dinner that consists of a personal pizza and glass of wine, for one. |
 |
| When things begin to pile up and create clutter, everything still seems empty. |
 |
| Some people have breakfast in bed. I have lunch and dinner in bed, too. |
 |
| Many nights go by that I don't speak. The only conversations that I hear are the ones coming from the t.v. |
 |
| They said these would be the best years of my life... |
