I must say I have been blessed with a wonderful family and/or support system. Which is crucial in today’s or any society for a person to survive and exceed in life.
Being the oldest and the only girl on my mother side, which is the side that I grew up with mostly. Until my mother married my dad, yes, I refer to my step father as my dad. That title to me is reserved to a person who actual acts the role on a daily basis. Now that that confusion is out of the way. Being the only girl for some time I didn’t grow up with older female cousins that were empowering and motivating. I didn’t get that until my mom married my dad and I met my cousins Tyger, Kiwi, and Maj (yes, I’m using nicknames). These ladies definitely helped me shape my mind and understand what purposes are in life. This support system was crucial because by the time these wonderful ladies came into my life I was freshly in my teens and already in womanhood.
So meeting women around my age that were already into their own stride of life, was thrilling and eye opening. Up unto this point I never had a single thought to myself of what I wanted to do in life and how to act. That support system of my own peers gave me great advice and a different perspective on life then what I grew up with. I actually had the pleasantry of a loving and devoted family. Now, yes, I do understand that not everyone is ever so lucky to have loving family members and/or even caring members either. And I also understand that people find family outside of their actually family. Now whether they are a good influence or bad I understand that people stick to either situations of people or situations of surroundings. And you can either learn from situations and surroundings or fall into them.
The matter of the fact is that everyone needs that emotional, spiritual, and mind-blowing human connection that helps mold us into people. Rather or not you agree with your surroundings or just blindly following your surrounding trend. There are things that cannot be accomplished in life without that support system and family bond. People learn how to love, connect, and teach others by learning these qualities from mentors and/or elders. We also get our body chemistries a fighting chance to show others what we have to offer and build ourselves to greatness. There is something that one gets from the competition of others surrounding them all fighting for the same position but for different motivations. It’s like we as a people have to prove that we are people to each other. But it all starts from the moment we have actual human interactions with someone. And that support system, that family, and connection we have is vital to our survival.
We see all the time where people withdraw from others and their surroundings to the point where it can kill them or maybe leave them in peace. But those that do chose to be in peace are usually socially awkward and have anxiety of some sort. But this is not about the distance and the damned. This is about the bonding and the belief that family is a part of motivation. Family is the drug and cure of life, the excitement of wanting to share and inspire your family and/or surroundings with positive vibes. Instead of being spiteful and competitive with my family peers we actually look to our meetings and link ups as a way to motivate and give ideas. Giving inspiration and advice to better each other is so refreshing and keeps us on our toes. This is a way to keep us focus on our goals. It’s amazing of how proud we are for each other in every role you can think of in life. And I know that there are a lot of people who would kill just to have a taste of what I have in my family.
So I say all this to give just a light at the end of the tunnel. Some one may just need that extra push in finding that great support system. Here is a tip, that great support system that you are longing for is coming if you just stop looking and just start living. Believe me, that great support system that you are longing for will just appear. Strang I know but the energy you give is the energy that you receive. The law of attraction is a powerful thing and such a real thing. If you give off positive and supportive energy, then you will receive positive and supportive energy. So be mindful and grateful of the life you are giving and please don’t let anyone take your inner you. Just show the world who you are and let everyone around you know that you can give support and you too need the support.
