My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water.

Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life.

Just because you don't know if other people are experiencing the same thing as you are, it doesn't mean that it's not happening. Everybody doesn't necessarily share everything. Just know that what you're going through, other people are going through it, too.

You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it's all about family.

I know that when I talk to my parents and my friends, there's a strong feeling of the world out of control and damaged.

Family is becoming more and more important to me.

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.

In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.
