Family

What does family mean to me? Family means support and love. My family is amazing. My mom and dad are always there. My sister pushes me to believe in myself. I got tons of aunts and uncles that love me and that are there for me. And My cousins are all my best friends. Not to mention I didn't tell you about both of my grandmothers who support me no matter what. It's an amazing feeling to have family. But sometimes just because you have a good family. That doesn't mean that bad things aren't going to happen within your family. It's normal for families to get into fights, to gossip about each other and maybe you have one family member you worry about. Those things are all normal. But some of the things people go through are extraordinary. Some teenagers my age lost there mom or dad at a young age. Maybe even a sibling. Some  teenagers my age there whole family is on drugs. Some teenagers my age don't have anybody to turn to in there family because there family is broken beyond belief. That happens and I've seen it a bunch of times. Sometimes all people want is a loving family. A family that is there but sometimes people don't have that. I don't understand what that feels like. But I do have to say that sometimes my family doesn't support me in what I do. Sometimes they make me angry and do things that just annoy me. But the thing that I've learned is I can't change my family. I can't change them, No matter how hard I try there not going to change. So what I've applied to my own life is that I have to focus on myself. If everybody in my family are messed up in different ways then I have to ignore them. It may hurt to watch your family not be who you want them to be. But the only way you can get away from that negativity in your life is if you ignore it. It may hurt so bad and it may take time getting used to. But once you stop listening and watching and dwelling on what is happening around you. Happiness will crawl in a little bit at a time. It's painful watching a broken family. I told you at the beginning of this paragraph that I have a great family! Which I do, But there's some family members in my family who aren't doing to good. That hurts a lot and it bothers me but the only thing I can do is focus on myself. I can't change those family members I can only focus on me. If you have brokenness around you, If your tired of fighting the same fight and dealing with all of the craziness that's going on in your family. Focus on You. You can get away from all of that if you focus on YOU. Getting yourself where you need to be.
