From the Bottom of My Heart

What matters most to you? 

Well, everyone must have their own important things and people that they love. 

For me, family is the most important thing in my life.

What do you think of when you say the word family? Yeah some of our families may be dysfunctional at times and yes we all fight with each other and say things that we most likely don't mean. The thing is friends come and go. Girlfriends or boyfriends seem interchangeable at times. Your family though will never stop loving you, no matter what they say. Parents want you to do the best you can but understand when you don't. Apologies are always meaningful because you truly mean it when you say them to your family. You may think that all your apologies are sincere but let's be real, some people you could give a shit less about and are only saying it because you were forced to. 

Parents are their to provide for you, siblings are there for words of wisdom or just an ear to listen to you. Even your family cat or whatever pet you have is there to comfort you. Mom's are there to make you food, hassle you about simple things and do basically everything else for you. Dad's are there to protect his daughters from bad guys and to toughen up his sons and make them into a man. Older siblings are like role models, always wanting to be as cool as them and mock their every action at times. Younger siblings are there to become your best friends when your grow up. 

We all need friends, I'm not saying that we don't. I'm saying that family is the concrete of love. They make you into the person you are. Life lessons are taught all of the time from your parents, even if we don't want to hear them. Just listen though because they have been there before, they know how it is to be in a bad relationship, they know how it is to have a friend that betrays you. Brothers and sisters will always be there for us no matter what. 

So today maybe you can just call everyone in your immediate family and tell them thanks and that you love them. Tell your parents thanks for being there when you weren't in a good frame of mind because we have all had those moments. Just know family is the most important thing, they will always love you through thick and thin. <3
