Years, ages, pass as we all grow up and apart from those familial bonds that we are so familiar with. They tie us down and keep us grounded as to where we came from, but yet again, they tie us down. Keeping us from our full potential.
It’s never a wonder why I never miss a beat with family, because growing up with they, we all know everyone else inside and out. We know each other’s characters, our flaws, our strengths, we know all. There are no secrets that are kept till the end of days. Everything will find an outlet in one way or another. Someday, all things will be clear.
Getting together, seeing each other are just passing times of speedily catching up and learning new things about each other. We’ll pick up conversations that abruptly ended only months, years before. We never skip a beat. We do what we need to do to keep up that blood bond….for we are family.
Spreading our wings and fly and becoming who we are is a part of life that our family is so familiar with. Most of us grow up in our own ways in our own time. Whether it is picking up and leaving to find one self, or a family tragedy that slaps us in the face, helping us to realize that we need to get our shit together and grow up..getting that new job…graduating school..whether it is highschool or college. Things progress with time and changes accordingly to each person
