When All Else Fails, Family Is There

"Family, for where your treasure is, your heart will be also."- Luke 12:34

When All Else Fails, Family Is There
Markus Spiske

Life is challenging when you are trying to figure it out for yourself, and having someone you know you can go to no matter the circumstances is a blessing you should never turn your back on. Your family has been there from the very beginning of your life. In no way, shape or form will family leave you before their time is over. Brought together and formed out of love, it is a love that is ever supportive, ever honest and ever truthful.

Families will fight and argue and maybe not always get along. But those fights, arguments, and rough times will pass. Perhaps family members are supposed to push us to a limit to help us grow and learn to forgive so that we become the best versions of ourselves.

To the battles that seem never ending and the days when family seems to be against us, these rough waters will pass and soon we will be sailing in tandem once again. Nothing is more heartbreaking than a fight with family- that should never happen. We are family. We can go to each other with any issue, even about family. We love and support each other, only asking the same in return. Losing sleep over family is no fun when they are the ones who should ease your mind of the world's hurt. Rely on those in your family and reach out in a time of need and crisis. They were with you from the beginning and will be there until the end.

We are family. Nothing less, but so much more. We are there from the beginning and you do not need to search for us. We will be there until the end, no doubt about it.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
