Family is what we hold onto!
What is a family? Is it only the blood tie or where the heart is at peace, What is a family? A Happy Family is a myth or a reality? What is seen vs what is inside, that’s the blurry reality line.
I met a friend after a long time, almost after years and we went down memory lane. We realized that both of us were dealing with losses and grieving. She had lost a part of her heart and so did I, there was no comparison, no GYAANS or sympathy. There was pure solidarity, full attention, and acceptance towards each other. At that point, we were a family- no jealousy, just pure EMOTIONS.
So, what is a family? Our parents, siblings, cousins, or pets? A Family is not meant to break you but to make you. This passing on generational guilt, traumas, and responsibilities is like a vicious cycle, a never-ending loop.
Yes, we all have our core family but then we make our OWN FAMILY as we go along in our journey of LIFE.
A family can provide unconditional love and support, promoting personal development and happiness. However, it can also be harmful, sustaining generational trauma and dysfunctional dynamics. To obtain serenity and happiness, people must recognize and break free from negative patterns, instead choosing partnerships that promote positivity and progress.
Generational barriers, such as guilt and pain, must not be handed down. A truly happy family is based on mutual respect, understanding, and emotional support, whether made up of blood relations or chosen loved ones who foster a nurturing environment.
We cannot choose our FAMILY but we can choose our SANITY. The biggest challenge yet the best reward you can give yourself is to break free from the negative shackles.
“ They say time heals all wounds and waits for no one. I want to ask these ‘They’, when will you move on from your rigid generational thoughts, and when will you accept the new change? Why is it so difficult to be happy and so easy to live a life with guilt and trauma? Well, someone has to break this norm and pay the price of choosing HAPPINESS.”- RVA
