Nice one Chief, I See You, and may your family See you too, that is Great

:'(
That was very well-spoken, _Omaticaya_.

Very Admirable. Even to see just how important it is for you to want to feel 'accepted', for everything you are, to the people that matter to You. And not just keeping it to yourself. Me for example, I never talk to anyone about these things, It's been 2 and half years now, and I never changed my thoughts on Avatar and what it did to me. Nor I ever found a person in my daily life that would understand me, definitely not my family -_- The day I told them I didn't give a **** about Uni and was planning to go living in the Forest. Picture their faces *lol*
I'm probably too Proud and I honestly don't even consider most people even slightly Worthy of even talking about such Purer Feelings such as those which Avatar evokes in me, in Us, here at AF, Team Omaticaya.
While You see it differently, and it is very admirable of You. I tend to escape into the Forest alone, you're trying to bring your loved ones With You, or atleast, Hoping to I suppose.

Well, I Wish you the best of luck Mate, and also, my personal opinion, if it ever feels uneasy and not necessary, or someone else causes that, Screw them. And screw the plan. What is Important is You. You Bond, Your Love, Your Interior peace. Don't let others spoil what they can't fathom themselves.
Always treasure those Pad periods... They seem to be the darkest, but they still are the Brightest of Illusions that opened up our eyes.

I wish you well on that. After watching AVatar, yes I was blown away, but I was also confused. I didn't fully comprehend what I had just watched until I went back to the theaters two more times to watch it, an action that seems retarded to my family, but I'm like 'screw you.' Anyway, I also had a small form of PAD. I was depressed and angered by everything around me. But, starting December 19, 2009, the day after I watched Avatar, I decided to fix myself before I tried to fix the world.
I envied the Na'vi's bodies, so I strived, and am still striving, to have mine as physical fit as one. I've given up all sodas and teas; since Dec.19,2009, I've dranked nothing but milk and water. I haven't eaten any fried or fast foods. I go running in the mornings and afternoons. I go barefooted everywhere: grocery stores, (sandals in church, but in worship I just kick them off), work, etc. Instead of walking on concrete all the time, I'll walk on grass if it's available. I bought me a Martin Longbow and 12 cedar arrows, and a forearm guard. I practice it almost everyday. I'm still learning the language, but not having a Na'vi fluent teacher to help me makes it very hard. I even started a nature journal. I'll go out into a random, isolated part of the 'nature', where ever that's at, and I sit and try to blend with nature. Then, I write whatever feelings or sights I receive. There's one certain thing that kinda happened, but I'm not sure how I can tell you all. It was sorta a bigger life changer then Avatar was.
Only one person knows what brought this sudden change to my lifestyle. I haven't been able to tell my family about it, but I sorta don't even care if they don't know. That one person was my girlfriend, Claire, an immigrant from Brazil that I met one summer in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Amazing thing was that she was already more Na'vi in her lifestyle then I was before I told her about the movie, which she loved...and I doubt anybody can hate Quaritch more then she did. O.O She even picked up the language faster then me. :(
So, yeah, back on track now. Avatar has made several enormous changes in my life too, to put it bluntly. I understand what you're going through, but all you have to do is be confident when telling them. Let them know that it aint no joke; give them 'I dare you to laugh' looks while explaining. They'll listen and understand, if they are truly your family. (I personally think I'm adopted, but no one will fess up to it.)
