"I'll tell you one thing, it's so much better when we're together."
-Jack Johnson
I have learned a lot of things from the path I've taken in life, but one of the most important, I think, is to learn to love what you are given. I have learned to love my crazy family. All of them, in whatever form they came into my life. My family used to be small, now it is huge and covers almost every form of 'pieced together' that there ever was. I wouldnt trade them for anything.
Explaining my family to people can get very frustrating. They werent what I was expecting at any time in my life but now that I have them they are the biggest blessings in my life. We laugh together and go through hard times together. Each of my family members gives me something new to add to "Me". I love my family. I cant wait for the future when my family is even bigger and crazier and buried in the middle is me and the person I hope to become, surrounded by amazing people that know me and love me anyway. That is my definition of a family.
I could never explain to anyone the role that each of my family members has played in my life. Although most of my family is acquired by marriage, they have loved me and given me something I never would have had before. I'm sad that my picture is missing Tejitu because I have grown so close to each of my sisters. They are amazing and every day of life with them is such a blessing. I dont know how I lived without them.
The past week has definitely been an interesting one. Its a good thing I didnt have to work all week because of all the homework and emotional stress I was under this week. I will be the first to say that just when you think something is going to get easier and better, it gets harder. Much harder. I am so grateful to have one of my amazing friends that helped me every step of the way and has cared so much about me. You know who you are. Thank you. :]
I'm expecting a hard day tomorrow..... I'll keep my head high and make it through.
Tears to better the path of tomorrow.
