This month of June has been emotional for me. From dealing with family drama, to turning 25, working on my career and trying to get my personal life together, it’s been a bit stressful. But that’s all apart of the journey, right? Turning 25 I feel no different than 23 and 24. But I do feel like time is going fast. Seeing family I haven’t in years put things into perspective. Seeing my aunts and cousins I haven’t seen in about 12 years brought tears to my eyes. I felt love from them as if they’ve seen me all through the years that have passed by. It was like no time passed by but sadly it did.
You never realize how much love there is missed between families when you’re not around them. One of my cousins almost cried after hugging me so long because he hadn’t seen me in years. I think that everyone has family issues and if you don’t then you’re blessed. But we shouldn’t just give up on family knowing how much we care and love one another. If there are issues address them, go to therapy do something so that there is no separation. I do understand there a certain family members who are toxic, that don’t deserve to be in our lives and that’s okay. We can’t dwell on the ones that don’t change. You’ve got to love the toxic from a distance though, to not hold the hate in your heart. Because by worrying about them we lose focus on the bonds we can fix.
