"Blood is thicker than water."

Some people may have a lot of blood but less water. Some people may have a lot of water but less blood. Or maybe even both, equally.

The word "family" itself is about having a strong bond with your parents, siblings, grandparents and others. They are known to be related by blood.

Yes, there is blood relation but... what if there isn't any bond with some of them?

What if there's a family member that talks about you in a super negative way and wants nothing to do with you?

They don't invite you to celebrations, take pictures with you, call you to see how you're doing or even wish you a happy birthday.

And no matter how hard you try, they will NOT accept you.

But you know what. That's their problem and that's their loss. If they want you in their life, they'll put you there. You shouldn't have to fight for a spot.

God sees everything and knows what is right and wrong. He has a better way of fixing things than you probably do.

Family is determined more by behavior than blood. It's about who is willing to hold your hand when you need it the most and the amount of love that is given. We cannot forget that actions speak louder than words.

There are people in this universe that will accept you for who you are. Even if they are not family, but by water such as friends, teachers and others. If someone doesn't approve you, then move along. Because someday, they will wish that they weren't so hard on you.

It hurts to know that some family members will disapprove others because they are just like any other person. It's okay to cry and tears will only make you stronger.

To the person who isn't accepted by family members, focus on what you want to do in life and strive forward. Create goals for yourself and do something big in the world because everything will be fine in the end. You don't need to be accepted by others. You just need to accept yourself.

"Do good, and good will come to you."
