Everybody knows the saying, "Blood is thicken then water," right? If you don't or if you do; that shit don't mean anything, well to me at least. Let me tell you why.
I come from a big family. My mama and daddy had 8 kids together. My dad comes from a big family too, 9 plus kids. My mama came from a family of 5. We were always deep with people. Growing up, we always had other family members living with us too. So, we always had family around.
Nowadays, we barely see each other, don't even have family gatherings. Aye, I don't mind. I can't be around people that don't want me around or that talk about me. Hell, me and my own sisters don't even talk. I would love to have a close relationship with my family, but I am fortunate, not to have one.
As I get older, I realize I don't want that close relationship with anyone. It's too much work. Everybody is different; meaning they think different, they act different, because they are different. That's fine with me. Maybe they don't want to be close. Maybe they are too busy. Whatever the case maybe.
I am working on being okay, with not being close to my family. If that makes sense. I have to learn how to be my new family, new circle, sometimes that make not include family. Sometimes, that means, it's just YOU, and your kids.
