Family

Despite how crazy they may drive us, at least we have them. Family is such an important part of life. It makes me sad how many people undervalue family life, family time and family ties.

I know family isn't a happy thought for everyone. Sometimes you and your family just don't get along. Sometimes you don't have a family. Sometimes your family is broken. Sometimes they are far away.

But family isn't just blood. It's the people who you create a life with. I have my blood family, whom I love dearly. I also have my family here at school.

I've been lucky enough to have both. My family lives in a different state than where I am attending school. Although I do have a grandma and some cousins close by.

But I also have made a family with a group of my friends. They have become home. I'm weird, people become home to me. I moved to much to have a place I call home. I am so grateful for the family I have. Blood or otherwise.
