    This community is here specifically for you. Even if no one else cares about you, I do. Please remember that. And I hope that you can find more people here in this community who feel the same. My favorite phrase for family is “family is not a privilege, it is a right” and if you’re a fucking jackass then that right can be taken away. Or on the other hand, you can freely give the right to family to others.

    The other common phrase “blood is thicker than water”? That’s a bastardization of the original which means literally the opposite - “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”. Meaning the connection to the people you choose to be your family is stronger than the connection to the people forced to be your family. If you would like to make a full post to talk about stuff please do, we’re here for you
