You know, who ever said "you can't choose your family" was wrong. Well, maybe not the family you were born into, but you can choose who you love as family. I am so greatful for the bonds that unite us with the people we love and care for. I have moved so many times, but for the first time, I love my friends. I may not be related to most of them, but I love them as much- and even more- than I love my actual family. Well, idk if I love them more than my family, but I sure get along with them MUCH better!

     Why is family so important to us, I wonder? Could it be that it's the fundamental unit, the one we can always trace our roots too? Or is there something more?
