Family

“What qualifies someone as a hero? Obviously a hero has to be someone who we respect, a person we look up to, a person who is generous of spirit, who is willing to grow and learn. Maybe it is the person who you love most in this world or the guy who makes the most out of life, no matter what anyone thinks. For me though, the hero in my family is my family because of who we are together.”

-Modern Family

We live in a society that has no mercy. There are standards we must live up to and sanity is a luxury. We come out of work with broken bones, wounded hearts and tired souls. At the end of the day, we are damaged goods. But there's a group of people, whom we were taught to call family, that we have always take for granted during the high times. 

They are the people who's willing to nurse your wounds. They will try to ignite your bones, and they will be the best people to help feed your soul. Sure, we all have this love-hate relationship with our families. We have some problems along the way, and some of us are not so lucky to have the kind of family that actually nurtures your worn out self. But they are family. There are questions you would like to ask, from why would they sit at dinners with you to why they'll come to your graduation day; and there will always be one answer: Because we're family. 

That is what families do. We screw up all the time. But our family will always stay where they are, making sure that nothing bad ever happened; you just had bad dream. We screw up, and we feel sorry, but see what they'll tell you instead? "You can always come back home." 

Family forgets. Family stays together. Family just needs to show up and say nothing to make you feel better. And family is your home.
