Personally I understand Family, as a bond that exists between two individuals or a group. One that cannot be defined by any label or words, but precedes the thoughts and ideas that spring to mind when you first hear the word family. To me it's not blood relatives, it encompasses people who are consistent in our lives. The ones who care and love us unconditionally. The people who may not always agree with our every decision but regardless, they support, sometimes make sacrifices and have our best interests at heart and we will not hesitate to do the same if not more for them as well.

For quite a long time I had misconception about family.
Family were those people linked to me by blood. The people I grew up with in the same household and those I were introduced to by my guardians and told they were my family.As grew older I can to many realizations and redefined this term for myself. Having being disowned and kicked out of the "family household" at 15, I had to recreate(choose who to get close with and not) my own family
