Being Real is a sort-of contest where people comment the things about themselves that make them special.
And in return, we all find out that we ALL have weird things, strange habits and whatnot and that even though we are individuals, we are all pretty much the same, just in different ways!
So now let's get to it!
Being Real #3 : My Family Construction
Woah. The way my family is put together is a bit weird.
And I know I am not the only once (hence this post).
So here we go:
My mother lives in another country and I am very close with her. She lives together with my stepfather whom I think is a totally great guy!
My father lives around the corner from my house but because he doesn't like the fact that I still spend time with my stepmother (and a host of other things) and gets angry at me because of it, I decided I don't want that kind of negativity in my life so we don't see each other. He seems to think that he made that decision but in reality that's not the truth.
I told him that I only want people in my life that have a relationship with me based in truth, honesty and love and until he is able to do that, he won't be a part of my life.
I have a half brother that is a couple of months older than me whom I didn't know about until I was 9 years old (That's a story for another time). He is the whole reason I am into crypto!
I have lots of family members on my mother's side but alas we don't see eachother due to several things but especially because of addictions and grudges and whatnot.
My actual real family are my friends.
I have quite a few girl friends whom I consider sisters and I feel lucky enough to call a few male friends my brothers.
And my boyfriend is my immediate family.
His family (there are quite a few of them) have become my family and I feel very very close to some of them.
So my blood family is important but my friendfamily plays an extremely crucial role in my life.
Without them, I wouldn't be me.
What is your family construction like?

BIG love,
