Who taught you how to walk or crawl or eat? How did you learn where to go for help? Where did you go for it? And what did you learn as a child that helped you thoroughly as an adult?
We rely on our caretakers as youths to teach us things – indelible life skills that make us into who we today. They made us who we are – whether we like it or not. Some of us did not have people in our lives who helped us, and we had to figure things out for ourselves. Other times, they were there when we needed them. And there were times when we were there when they needed us.
What we need to understand is that having a stable family is the most important thing that we should achieve in this lifetime. What others around us would say is that sometimes having good friends is better than having a family. I disagree. Friends will let you down. Blood strengthens as time goes on. It is indeed an essential part of our lives to have a family. So if you can manage it, find one, start one, or be in one fully.
