Nowhere will you be able to find any two families that are exactly alike. The way that they come together, function, and interact with each other may be similar, but there are many differences and this is what makes them unique. Some families are overly affectionate toward each other, while others' love is felt and expressed even through silences. No matter the differences though, there are a few things that are a given among every family you come across regardless of the relationship they have with each other.
1. Live up the good times
Some of the best moments you will have in your life are spent among your family. They are the ones who will go above and beyond celebrating your accomplishments throughout life and are the first ones you run to with good news. From family vacations to just sitting around in the living room, the laughs and good times you share with your family are endless.
2. Go through hard times
No one likes going through tough times, but having your family to go through them with makes the struggles just a little bit easier. Whether it be falling short of your successes, a death in the family, or just having a bad day, there is no other comfort that can come close to a match of the comfort of family.
3. Arguments
Everyone at some point or another has found themselves in an argument or disagreement with a family member, whether it be immediate family or a distant cousin. Honestly, it wouldn’t really be a family without the arguments because they show just how much you care for each other. Now you may be thinking how a screaming match shows love; well, it’s simple. You truly care for each other and want nothing but the best for everyone in your family, but sometimes what you think is best and what they think are two different things, resulting in you not seeing eye to eye.
4. Endless Laughs
The best part about the arguments is that they never last forever, and before you know it you’re back to having great times and sharing laughs with the people you love most.
5. Love and Support
At the end of the day the one thing you know that you never have to question or doubt is that your family will always love you. Some families may have an unusual way of showing it, but without a doubt the love of a family runs stronger and deeper than any other. Your family is your biggest support system because they have been there for you since day one and will remain there until the very end.
