Life changes

My cousin moved in with my parents yesterday. She was supposed to on Saturday, but we didn't hear from her and didn't know what was going on. She called yesterday, though, and said she was on her way. She didn't have that much stuff, so she was installed with no problem and her friends headed back home.

We all acted like it was the most normal thing ever. It was no big deal that she'd been evicted and was moving in with my parents. I couldn't wrap my head around it, though. It was the most surreal thing. It felt like this big, life-changing moment and we were standing around chatting as if it were an every day occurrence.

In the end, I decided that it really was the best way to act. It was difficult for her. It was difficult for us. It would have made it worse if we had made a big deal out of it. So, it was best to just act as if it was no big deal. I'm still having trouble with it myself.
