Family

Family is something that most people have and a lot of people want. Most people see family as just one thing, blood. I believe that there are different kinds of family. Just because you are related to someone does not mean that they are family. Family are (should be) people that love you and take you for who you are. Even if you happen to be related to lots of people does not mean that any of them take you for who you are. Most of the time people just tell themselves, "oh, well, we're related, so I have to help." That should not be the way. You should only have "family" around you that you care about and that care about you back. You were born into a "family", that does not make you part of it or make them have to take you in. Make a family of your own. Friends are wonderful people to have a "family" with. I my self have many friends that are my "family". I also have family that I am related too. One is no more important then the other, just different. Now a days many people have families like this. There is not a problem with it. Unless it hurts you in some way, then its bad. Now that the holidays are here, it is time to think of all your families. Send time with the ones that "you" love. Don't let others tell you who you "should" send time with. It's your choice. I, myself, am going to see everyone. That is what I do every year. I just can't leave people out. No matter what kind of "family" you have or what you "believe" in, this cold time of year is time for family. Find a family and be thankful.
