family life

Sometimes, I wish I was surrounded by family all the time. To the point, where you see all your family and friends. I think I'd like that. I think if my life were like that, I wouldn't be going out as much as I do now. I'm always trying to get away. The moment I step foot into the house hold, it's like no one can do anything for themselves. Even something as simple as getting themselves a glass of water. But, it's not even about just having a big family. The mood of everyone around me here isn't so happy. Everyone is always NAGGING. It's annoying. I want a big, happy "family". That would be nice. Also, the age group in the family is completely different. Although, I may be able to 'get on their level', it's just not the same as having people closer to you, age wise.

Instead, I make my FRIENDS my family. Not just the acquaintances that you happen to call your "friends". I mean, the friends you actually keep in touch with even though you don't see them at school. The ones who talk to each other because you want to talk, because you want to see them, because they mean that much to you that you'd make time to fit them in your busy little schedule. Not just because you see them everyday at school, that's the most pathetic kind of friend. Once you're out of highschool, you no longer talk to them after that. Shows how much of a friend you two were. You know? I really appreciate my friends. They are my other family. I'll admit, I do love the family I have. It's just not the same as the others.
