WHAT FAMILY MEANS

So I hear people say that family is everything, I say it too but the truth is I have never really understood what this statement means... Until now, today as I mopped the floor and imagined how angry I was with my little brother for something as I think about it right doesn't make complete sense. It's understandable that we get angry at a lot of things but 75% of this things don't really make sense I mean if we look at it critically.

So back to what I was saying, family is everything I began to think about this, what does everything mean, I mean why would someone just wake up one morning and scribble down three words or four if you are going to separate the everything, This person whoever he or she is must have probably being through a lot from this unit called family. The way I look at it family is love, hatred, pain, solace, anger, happiness, riches, poverty, peace, war, plenty, little, lies, truth, believes, trust, selflessness, selfishness, togetherness, apart, friends, enemies,Good, evil, beautiful, ugly, exciting, amusing, sad, amazing, sweet, bitter, wonderful, everything. Family is everything. In one way or the other we have all felt one or more of the things written above and somehow it comes from only those we love. Those we call our friends, those we call our loved ones, those we love, those we trust, those we live with, those we call FAMILY! So this is it... What that statement means to me, it clearly proves to me that my family is all I would ever need to grow, to be better, to understand things, people. My family is everything.!
