What is a family? A group of beings tied by blood stuck together by the fates....or is it a bond of responsibility on a rotational basis of generations. As spoken by Jeb Walker, "families rule" and "families suck". The ability to enjoy the company of family has been a forgotten treasure sunken into the crypt of Davey Jones. We revel in the safety of numbers...the feeling of having a house to go home to at the end of the day filled with people who will save you without a hesitation yet regret the pressures and the overbearing stuffiness that comes with.
The happiness is undoubtly and unfortunately found in a friendly compromise of both the aspects. Forget the expectations which we lay upon strangers. This is family...the people we trust with with our flaws...and accepted those flaws. The reason some find it difficult to lie to family...to the mother who gave us life...to the father whom stayed up til u finished your endless schoolwork...to the siblings who argue endlessly but stayed beside you those nights your folks weren't home. Nonetheless, each family is a multi-tiered tower. The strength lies in its foundation. Modernisation however has caused the number of tiers to lessen...making relations more like a balancing act rather than ...u know.
Dear void, take 1 day of your busy lives to have, be it a meal or just a simple cup of tea with your loved ones this weekend. Do not give a situation whereby an alternative date is to be arranged which we will probably postpone again and again. Take an effort. Don't regret only when its gone.
