I have been married for many years, I have two children, so why am I so... unhappy. I try to be happy, I smile and laugh when others are around, but there is just a part of me that wants something more.
We went to the castle, the children and I, a personal invitation from the King. An noble woman would be overwhelmed by such an invitation... I tried to be. The children enjoyed themselves, they flew kites for the better part of the day and I was glad to see Bo so happy. I always misses his father, he doesn't say it, but a mother knows these things. I think he wanted to please the Earth King more than anyone of us there, I'm sure he wishes his father would fly a kite with him, but he doesn't have the time. The poor boy, I wish sometimes I was more of a peasant women, I could let my children laugh and play in the streets without being looked down upon or talked about behind my back.
I always imagined I would have children and raise them in the country where they could be children, running through grass fields and climbing trees, the city is no place for them. I have to make them be adults before they even know how too.
I am contemplating on taking them away, prehaps to Omashu where I was raised, but my husband would never allow it.
Jiang did a strang thing, she drew the Air Nomad symbol in her rice while we were having dinner at the palace. I don't know what it means, but it scares me a little. She's only four and a half, she's never even heard of an Air Nomad before this! It makes me wonder if she knows something we don't, I wish she would learn to talk, than I could ask her.
