Some may say that family is your parents and siblings. In my words, family is whoever you are closest to, may it be close friends, aunts, uncles, or spouses. Family comes in a million different forms, and you shouldn't let others judge who your family is. Family is where the heart is.
For me, family is a number of people who make my life what it is. Who have watched me grow up from a little baby girl, to a...well i dont know what you would call me now haha. My family is composed of people that dont judge me, but rather accept me for who I have chosen to be. Those that dont punish me when i make a wrong choice, but rather laugh about it and move on. Those that guide me in my decisions, but dont tell me what one to make. Family is not overrated or underrated, but yet whatever you choose to make it.
For example, my family that is directly related to me would be my amazing father, caring mother, and crazy brother. My older sister died when she was only 4, and would have turned 21 this year. Every family has struggles as they grow together. Some more than others, but none the less, I am grateful for all that I have and have grown up with. But on another hand, those three people do not makeup my "family". I have church family, a horse family, an extended family, and a completely random family that cares about me just because they can. And to me, these families put together make mine, as one. Who's your family?
