Family has always been a word I'm trying to understand more and more about. My family, church family, and adoptive family (aka families I mooch off of... sorry and thank you). But my own family seems to be the hardest. The hardest to love, understand, and to be understood. Over the years I've learned a couple things:
- Get over your past and yourself thinking you are better than others.
- Be comfortable with yourself.
- Listen to what the have to say to you.
- Be able to express yourself.
- Learn to fight a battle worth fighting for, otherwise, let it go.
I'm starting to understand thing better, but I'm still far away from doing the list well. This list isn't something that will make my family relationships better, but it'll help me adapt to what is going on in their and my life. In the end, I barely see my family more than 2 to 3 days or at most 2 to 3 weeks. Either way, I want to make of the most of it. I think I'm getting better, but time will show if it is working. In the end, this is my family that I as born into. I love them and want to be a part of their life, so I just have to learn, love, and be.
