So, yesterday was Father's Day. Even if I hadn't remembered about the holiday, all the posts here would have reminded me about it. Me and my father aren't particularly close. I've barely talked to him since high school, and it's never really bothered me as much as I guess it should. It just is what it is, you know? [She leaves out the part where he

They say that family are the people you're stuck with, and you can choose your friends. In my experience, it's the friends that you are stuck with that you can truly rely on.

Re: [voice]

[knowmypurpose]

I definitely agree. Circumstances may have thrown my makeshift family together, but the fact that we stuck together past that is what proves what we really are.

[isitablurred]

You said you've fought together. Somehow I don't think you mean that you argued?

[voice]

[knowmypurpose]

Well, we did that sometimes too, but no, not exactly what I meant.

[voice]

[azarathmetrion]

That's true, in a way-- in lots of ways. But there's definitely things about biological bonds that stick, too.

Re: [voice]

[knowmypurpose]

I suppose. I mean, I don't really have them myself but I totally get that a lot of people do.

Think you might be surprised. There's genetics, and there's sometimes a kind of destiny in it.

[voice]

[knowmypurpose]

It doesn't really surprise me. Destiny is something I'm definitely familiar with, though it isn't always as written in stone as people seem to think.

[watcherless]

Sounds a lot like a Hallmark waiting to happen.

[knowmypurpose]

Like I said, a little cornier then I usually care to get, but doesn't make it less true.

[watcherless]

Bet all the cuddly types are real appreciative. It's cute.

[knowmypurpose]

Hey, everyone needs some cute cuddly feelings every once in a while. It's what keeps us from losing it, you know?

They say you can't choose your family, but that's a lie.

[knowmypurpose]

It really is. But I guess not everyone has had the kind of experiences we have to learn that.

[rudolphofvamps]

They should do, if they get the chance.

[knowmypurpose]

It'd be...well nice isn't always the right word, but it has it's perks.

It's not corny. It makes sense. Your family's the people that care about you, even if they're not biologically related.

voice;

[knowmypurpose]

Exactly. The people you can rely on, lean on, and would do anything for, they're the people who matter most.

[askedtobe]

And if you're not related.. then you know you're stuck with them because you want to be.

[knowmypurpose]

And not because of some sort of obligation.
