Family

What is family? Do they have to be blood related? How come sometimes even if we are surrounded by family we feel so alone?

I think family does not have to be blood related, if you're close enough to someone, I don't mean just close I mean like super close, close enough to know in a split second when you are upset, if you care about them in a way you are unable to describe, then I would consider them family.
Family, Definition: any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins
What the definition should say: a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together
My definition: people who care about eachother and have a bond that is unfathomable by words on a simple page.
Even if you are surrounded by people of blood relation, you can feel so alone. I am not going to try to tell you there is something psycologically wrong with you. There are going to be times when you feel like no one is there to catch you if you fall,when no one is there to tell you that you tried your hardest, or that they believe you can do anything. Your family are the ones who are going to pick you up and dust you off, tell you that no matter what you do you are going to be amazing. From my experience they don't come out and say it but somehow you feel it in your heart and see that its true in their eyes.
I have both my parents, and two brothers, but my family is also made up of four brothers and three sisters. I love them all and couldn't be more blessed.
