You don't choose your family...

...but one day you come to realize that all the unsolicited advice and comments on your life are only done out of love. It's probably around the same time that your true friends no longer blindly support you in everything you do and tell you how great you are, but offer you that same unsolicited advice and comments on your life. And guess what? You did choose your friends!

Human natures boggles my mind everyday. We are more willing to accept things from people we've known half our lives, over those that have loved us unconditionally since the moment they found out we were growing in our mother's bellies. Yet, in the end, no matter who the advice is coming from, we still do what we think is best for us. Because who knows you better than yourself (and a lot of us don't know ourselves very well either). But again, in the end, the family you didn't choose and the friends you did still love you despite the fact that you rebuffed them at every turn.
