Most people don’t realize that they're drifting apart from someone. Maybe one day you're chilling and you realize that you haven’t called someone in a while. Then you call and there is a whole chapter that you missed in their life and apparently in yours too. They have a whole new set of friends and they got a new car. All of a sudden they don’t even know you anymore. I believe that when you have someone you feel is a safe person to you. That person could help you emotionally, drama and personal wise.

One time I was hanging out with my aunt and I realized how nice spending time with my family was. When I was hanging out with her I noticed that my parents are really busy and I miss my family that I don’t see a lot (because she lives in Philadelphia). It made me feel kind of sad when I realized that I don’t see her as much as my family that I live with.

It might seem simple but I feel like when I'm with my family I feel happier than when I'm with my friends. I feel happier with my family because I feel like I can tell my family stuff that’s happening at school or drama that’s going on. But if I tell my friends then they could tell other people. And if I told my family they don’t really have anyone to tell.

My opinion is that it feels nice to have someone around when you need them, it helps you control your emotions. I think that if you don't have a great relationship with a family member, you can just pretend that they're your best friend. So if you guys get in an argument you guys are blood, so you will see them at a family reunion, it would be hard not to talk to them.

I believe that family is more important than friends because family always has the time for you. It’s good to have a relationship with family because you get to be in their life and make new chapters with them, maybe even a whole new book.
