Family. This word, we all define differently. Whether we define family as caregivers, adults that we grew up with, the making of our DNA "Our Blood", or as my sis would jokingly say, "Who Rose US". Many of us have developed and redefined who we consider family. Redefining family can come with some pain, self awareness and growth. This is all apart of our story, our path, and ultimately can be apart of our peace. From my individual experience I have never felt like I truly belonged until recently. I've always felt like the black sheep, the outcast, the odd piece to a puzzle. I am learning that "family" are the individuals that know and continue to get to know our inner self, who strive to understand us, the ones that make us feel cared for and loved. There is no right or wrong answer to whom we define as Family and why. It is our own. I began to reevaluate my holy of holys, my inner circle, and surrounded myself with individuals that could identify with me, who came from various backgrounds, who were open minded, curious and loving. Who in your life brings you peace and love? When we can be curious and vulnerable with our family, we can spread love and recieve love while having acceptance and understanding for one another's journey. "Family is a beautiful collaboration of individuals making their way through life with arms locked. Where we feel most at home." @mettasprings #family #loveislove #trust #friendsandfamilyhustle #mettasprings #blogger #lifecoach #pnw #pugetsound #moonlightbeach #redefine #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CTD-Q4ss6A-/?utm_medium=tumblr
