I've always heard that Thanksgiving is about Friends and Family. Well for me its always been Family, and to be honest I'm getting sick and tired of it. It's always the same fucking shit when I come to The Bay Area, "Omid, you need to lose weight", "Omid, stop eating", "Omid fucking do this, fucking do that." Last night I had 20 people lecture me on how I should or should not have facial hair. On top of that I asked if I could help with anything only to get laughed at...as if I'm no good. The last 3 times I have come here have been nothing but hell, to the point where I just want to get up and leave. Fuck the turkey and everything else, it's not worth it if i have to come here. If it wasn't for my 95 year old aunt I wouldn't even come. And to think I passed up going to Phoenix.
The best part of Thanksgiving anyways isn't the dinner, its the leftovers for the next week. I can't believe that I'm 23 years old and I get lectured like I'm a 10 year old kid. On MY weight, on MY appearance, on MY schooling, on MY truck. It's like everyone just comes here to lecture me as a means of making themselves feel better about themselves.
When can I spend the holidays with Friends and NOT Family?

We can't choose to only love our family when it pleases us or we solely benefit.
As with any relationship we hold dear, we must take the good with the bad, but really your perception of their remarks may be distorted.
Have patience my friend, and with an open heart try and learn from the wisdom of your elders, for they would not offer their counsel if they did not love you. The job of a parent is a life-long endeavor, for those who are truly committed.
Only will a childish heart perceive itself a child, and never believe that you posses the wisdom of age, for you are not an old man. The mind grows exponentially within the passing of our years.
I'm sorry you had a crappy Thanksgiving. Hope your doing well.
