The question we need to ask ourselves is “Are we all related?”. You know, you hear all these different concepts for all these different people. Many people are brought up differently, so the lens they chose to look into is the one they continuously side by. These lens I speak of, is made up of many, many different themes. A spiritual lens, a political, a cultural, any type of lens which has people perceiving the world in their own or communities ways. Everyone is like this, including myself.
My depiction of this question we ask, is simply no. Family is such a powerful word and is being used in such a false and degrading manner. In my case, family, means trust. I can not just say we are all related. There are people in the world who are trying to bring you down, making you feel like complete… I pick my family; family can include blood related family and family friends. These are people I trust. People who strengthen me every single day. People who want me to thrive and be successful. This is what family is.
