"About a family I guess I know what you mean, I found out over time and of course with age to be closer with my family, or at least with a certain people from that "Bubble" and even thougth we are sometimes angry and strict with each other, I understood that life is too short to be angry all the time, its just not worth it, no matter what that person did with our lives."
"I was thinking about some open questions about family this week and Family is sometimes a very delicate topic with so many open questions for me.
I ask myself very often why I found a place in this family and why not someone else, but do not laugh at me, I know it I am awkward and naive, when it comes to family. And I ask so many questions straight out of different songs, because this doubt overwhelms and undermines me. Did my parents find or did they loose. We can see and read everywhere how the ideal family should behave but all around me, people and parents, do not stop yearning, did they find or did they loose? I can not say.
And what about orphans. An orphan has no way of knowing. An orphan lacks a first love. The love for his mum and dad. Thats maybe the main source of his awkardness, his naivetée like people use to say.
Therefore I am glad that even though I live in abroad, I can still think about my parents about the first love I have ever got. Thats why I never stop wondering, where are they now and where have they been. What about animal families, do they have any? Do they feel the same emotion towards their offspring and pain when one of them leave? I think in general animals and for me personally, horses are like us, humans. They have a neck, a head, a heart, legs and even horses have more legs than we do, so maybe they are probably smarter and behave towards nicer."

"Down bellow I decided to send you one picture I have made last semester. The story is about three people, the eldest brother adopted from El Salvador, the youngest brother from the Philippines and the daughter from South Korea, but all of them - one family. With the arrival of a new country and family, life changes, sometimes parents set out our future paths according to their recommendations, but what happens when one decides to stray from the chosen path? Disagreements, arguments, falling outs, but after all that has happened, we treat ourselves for a while as if we never even met, until they see us what really makes us happy and who we are. “Sometimes we find our true and inherent selves during youth”
It is the story of a family where the only daughter decided to follow herself even though her parents imagined a different future."

"Family for me is quite simple. It's where people just happen to be arbitrarily bound by blood and voluntarily by choice where fractures are just as common as a meal. It's a great theater. Quite possibly anyone's first experience of the drama of life."
"This is a photo of my family exiting the cemetery after visiting the grave of my paternal grandmother that I never met. Taken in 2013, it does reflect my then feeling about the family: detached. I do still feel detached now but recently I have warmed up and involved myself more into my family. It's interesting."
