"You can pick your friends, but not your family." 

This also ties in with another quote that I've heard, that my mom told me that you should just let poeple go in your life that you do not need. Or are just plain hurting you. Every day you make a connection and make a new friend, but the instant that something goes wrong, you start to question the relationship. You wonder why the friendship started, you start to wonder how the relationship came to be

Family though, you're pretty much stuck with them. You're born into a family, or adopted into a family and that's where you will remain. But like your friends, you will find people that aid, or hinder you in life. Family, they typically are there to help you. Don't listen to the sitcoms, family is there to love and support you. Most of the time. When you come home with a new tattoo and a pierced tounge... I don't have an answer for thier behaviors.

We're all in this world together, so I think it is to your advantage to know who you are choosing to be your friends, and who you leave out in the cold may be the one person that you need tomorrow to fix a problem, or just be that someone that you can lean on.

We all know who members in our family are, after all, we were born knowing them! We just do not know our friends, or who could be our friends. Remember: "A stranger is someone we don't know yet." We never know what they will bring to the table, or how they are going to change our minds or how they are going to help us in the long run. We just know that they are there, all we need to do now, is be there for them.

- On a semi-related note: Can you tell who the friends are and who the family is here? No? Good. That's because they're all beautiful to the individual in the family. -

    family- you cant pick your family its just something you are born or adopted in to. we all have people in are family we love or cant stand but families families, some don't get along and sum do but wen push comes to shove we all stick to gather.
