Long Time No Blog

I haven't blogged in a long time because I haven't felt the need to bitch and moan. Not that I feel this is only an outlet for me, but it is a place where I can say what I want, when I want, and how I want. This particular blog is going to be about family. Family is the most important thing to me. There was a time where I probably would have said "Fuck family!" but I was wrong. That's not to say that I'm not related to a bunch of ass holes- because I am- it's really more about the fact that we can always choose our own family. Just because you're related to someone by blood doesn't mean you have to love them or like them. After all, you didn't ask to be related to them. It was just the luck of the draw. Family to me is someone that is there for you, that understands you, that forgives you, and that knows who you are inside and out and still loves you. Sure, they can get pissed at you sometimes, and they may stop talking to you for a little while, but in the end, you know they're still there for you. A family member that cuts you off completely over something that is so meanial you don't even remember what happened is not worth calling family. But a friend who is true and faithful exceeds the title of friend and should be known as family.
There are some people in my life I thought had crossed over into that "family" zone, but they ended up letting me down which really kinda sucks because I was very family like right back to them. But like I said before, fuck them. There's family that really let me down because I was always family like towards them and they were just out for themselves, worrying about what looks good and what looks right in front of everyone. I have never been about that.
So to everyone out there that may stumble on my blog, choose your family, choose your friends, choose the friends you want to be family, and fuck everything else. You only have one life. Surround yourself with the people that are going to make you be the best person you can be for them and for yourself.
Thanks!
