Family

Everyone has a family.  Some families make us feel more like ourselves than anyone else.  Some families make us feel like strangers wondering where we came from.  Wherever your family belongs on the spectrum, they are still a part of you.

If we take the word "family" away and imagine groups of people instead, the picture becomes more clear. Everyone has a group of people or a person that makes them feel small and worthless.  There is a person that used to know them and treats them the same as they did in days past.  They don't allow any room for growth. There is a person who pretends to know all about you, but doesn't listen or "hear" a word you say.

On the inverse, there is also a group of people or a person who makes you feel like the most amazing version of yourself.  They make you feel successful and happy.  They assure you when you struggle, encourage you when you are down, and love you no matter what.  They know you yet always want to know more.  They don't want to change you, they simply want to be with you.

Everyone knows people that belong in both groups.  Be ever so thankful if the second group involves members of you biological family.  If your family is not in the second group, its ok.  You are still loved and adored by someone.
