When you're friends with someone, it's normal to want to take care of them, and feed them, and make sure they're healthy, and make sure they grow to become good adults, even if that means scolding them sometimes, right? Well, it's not like I'm so stupid I don't realize that that's some overlap with "family" and "parents" in doing that, but even so ( Read more... )

You choose your friends. You don't choose your family. But... sometimes you can make a new family with your friends, I think. Only it's different, because you made it.

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:00:48 UTC

But how do you realize that your friend has become your family?

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:02:05 UTC

I think you just decide...?

Maybe you should ask Nani. She's good at explaining this stuff.

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:03:13 UTC

Saying "I decide" works, but it wouldn't happen overnight.

She is, isn't she. So, do you have "family" like this?

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:08:25 UTC

Yeah... I don't know. Maybe it's just a feeling you get?

Well, she told me about Ohana, and it sounded a lot like how I feel about my friends. My closest friends especially, but the rest of them, too.

I wonder if I've just been classifying it backwards.

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:16:03 UTC

What do you mean?

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:17:44 UTC

Well... from what people have been saying so far, what I do and how I feel for the people I know, they'd be considered my "family." But I've never really... thought about them like that. I figured family was something else.

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:22:16 UTC

Maybe it just depends on the person.

... I kind of like my Ohana better than my family, anyway.

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:22:40 UTC

Is that so?

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:31:50 UTC

Well, yeah. I mean, I still love my family and everything. But my friends are just really special, and I don't know what I'd do without them.

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:36:23 UTC

Well, of course. That's only natural.

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 21:42:01 UTC

So you know what I mean?

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 21:42:48 UTC

Yes and no, but it's not really the point. Do you have "family" here?

beatsupboys February 23 2009, 22:07:36 UTC

Ummm... not, like, a blood family. I have an Ohana-family.

shockinglycool February 23 2009, 22:09:36 UTC

Well, that's what I meant.
