My family... well... I am the elder child out of three children. I have s younger sister and a younger brother. We are not especially close... we love each other a lot (I believe) but generally there is a sort of dysfunctionality in my family that makes many things difficult for us in general

[serenitytouched]

I've seen through myself and a few friends around me how there's no such thing as a perfect family. I want it to be true and I question if it really exists or if something that's rare like a unicorn.

I am glad to read though through these posts on the topic so far that there is a lot of good mixed in with bad. For myself, I just want to kind of not let the negatives shake me down, you know?

I think this topic has opened up a lot of things unintentionally and I like serious/honest topics. I think that's great a game helped you laugh. I don't know why, but laughing just helps so much you know? It's why I love comedy and just being able to joke sometimes. Just helps so much. xD

Of course there's not! And even if some families seem better from afar, when you get close you see cracks in that perfection... and that;s because we are human. But I guess some families' problems are less intense... or more balanced perhaps.

Well as I said above... I didn't exactly do that... I've ended up trying to overanalyze eveything in my life, every moment, relationship and person I know so I just won't feel but think so there is no intensity... if that makes sense... I also became very selfish, self-abdorbed and ended up believing in God more than I would before perhaps. But I guess that my love for God is a sign that I want the bad thinsg to not affect me so much and just focus on the good things that are to come! XD

Yeah! Laughing makes everything better! I honestly agree!

[serenitytouched]

Yes, def. People are human and they have faults, so it's impossible to be perfect. I agree that being balanced is probably what I see a lot to appear more on the normal vs dysfunctional side.

I find myself thinking about past relationships and what I could have done to make it better (suddenly begins thinking about ex's), but! -likes to think of past relationships to stepping stones of finding something greater-

Lol, well hey, no matter what you got to do--long as you focus on the good that's all anyone should ask for.

What's that saying about lemonade? Life... gives you lemons make lemonade? I have so much lemonade I need to start sharing. xD

Super big hug!

I'm glad that a writing game made you feel better. Communities can do great things for people. :)
