Is the good life really always the good thing?
Livvy R asked:
I’ve always kind of wondered this. People are always telling me to look at the brightside of things. To be greatful for all that I have, but I can’t help wondering how it would be if I had a much simpler life.
My parents are the busy type of people. Dad is a screenwriter, and mom is a fasion designer, so they’re always going on business trips or spending hours locked up in their office. Once in a while my family and I will go out for dinner and the entire time my parents spend it on there phones, day planners, etc.
I go to a private school in D.C which is far from my home in LA. So I don’t go home very often. Only for specail holidays or occasions. I do however go to New York, Paris, Maui Hawaii, Necker Island, Aspen Colorado, South Beach Miami, and many other fave vacation spots, as often as I can.
one of the good points of the priveleged life…you can get a pass off campus whenever. all you need is a little bribing and parents that could get the dean fired with the snap of their fingers
Anyways although I do have two sisters on living on campus with me, I almost never see them. And i wish i was closer. how can i bring us closer?
and for christmas holiday my family and a bunch of relatives are gonna be staying in Aspen. How can I make sure that we actually spend time together?

Sit down with your family at Christmas time and explain to them that life is short and it would be good to spend more quality time together. Your dad a screen writer.Make your own script,put it video and show it to your family. kerryFirst Name
Firstly I do not really understand by good life you mean here. Does it mean being rich and getting things easily? Because for everyone good life has different meanings.
To get closer with your sisters, maybe you can buy some foods and coffee and show up at their doors. Just asking how they are, are they busy, etc. If they are busy, it is okay just to drop the foods, and just ask them to watch movie together next time. carnation
Your confusion is thinking that there is a connection between the ‘good life’ and making a lot of money. In your case your parents use that money to not be caring loving parents. Your parents would say “we give them the best of everything, private schools, exotic vacations, pricey homes, etc.” In reality they give you everything but love and concern and the sense of being wanted. They have not given you a mother and father really worth having. Instead of being loving parents they buy your loyalty. They have taught you how not to be a parent. What you want is normal and right. It appears you are the only one who is mature enough to know that so it will be tough. Be strong and do the best you can. If I could give you better parents, I would. 8>} thesongfairy
