I'm actually kind of surprised today; I thought the generation before mine in my family at least kind of knew me. I got two unrelated random messages from my uncle and mom today. My mom sent me a link to a website of Christian devotionals even though I've been very clear I'm atheist and have even said I'm just as likely to go back to Christianity and I am to convert to Islam or Scientology. And my uncle who likes to send me the lamest/least funny boomer memes you can imagine just sent me a cartoon with caricatures of black people on a plantation eating watermelon, thinking I'd find it funny. I just know some of you people could relate to having such clueless family. It's very hard to feel close to any of them as we are so different, and they don't even realize it. Everytime I talk to my uncle he goes on about how we are so alike but I don't get how he thinks that at all. He was a military recruiter who is conservative Christian and I went to art school for starters.
