Family

To me family does not have to be people related by blood.  Family to me are people that are there through the good, the bad and the ugly.  Someone you are related to could possibly not give a crap at all about you so they are just "relatives" not family.  Family are the people that are there for you...when you fall apart they are the one's that help you pick up the pieces and put yourself back together.  They are the face you see waiting at whatever dark tunnel you had to go through or the one holding the flashlight helping you through.


Family are the people that love you no matter how many mistakes you make, and tell you your being stupid when you are being stupid.  They are the one's that tell you those pants make you look fat...that you have a booger hanging, that you need to get your crap together.  The one's that do that are the one's that give a damn about you, they love you and want good things for you.  They will be the one's that will have your back when you feel like it is against a wall.  When the world comes up against you they will be the one's standing next to you yelling "bring it on b**ches!"  Good friends, bff's....give em your own name...to me, they are family.


My family makes my soul smile.  I have a great family of people that love me and care about me and are there for me when I need them.  They know that I am a loyal friend and will be there one way or another when they need me too.  My family/Friends mean a lot to me and I appreciate every one of them.  I will never forget every time they were there for me and will always return the favor one way or another.  I hope everyone has their own little family that they can rely on to be there when they need them and vice versa.  


It is good for the heart and soul to have a good family...they are the foundation and support beams of the structure that is you.  Without a good solid base and strong support beams, the structure will not be strong.  A good, close family gives a person a better peace of mind...and a healthy mind and soul makes a healthy person.
