Family - The most important thing to me!

I will be the first to say i cannot live without my family. I find it the most challenging part of life when you live away from the people who love and care for you the most. When i started university back in September 2011, I felt as if i had grown up, became a man, free and independent. For the first two weeks I felt home sick which resulted in me going back home on weekends. Afterwards i had got used to the fact of living alone which to be honest was not a bad experience.

To live alone means you have full control of your own life, but you also have more responsibility than you would living at home with family. You would have to clean up your own mess, decide what you want to eat, cook yourself and those are just a few things that you learn while living independently. You dont get your moms great homemade food, but instead have to eat microwave meals or takeaways. You dont get the opportunity to talk to your mother/father if you feel upset. It was something i was accustomed to when i lived at home. I love being surrounded by my family and i honestly dont think i could go a certain amount of time without them.

However there are some people out there, not mentioning any names who decide it is ok to leave their own family behind and start afresh elsewhere. Some people are just to arrogant to admit they are wrong. How can somebody abandon their own parents after they were the ones who brought them into this world? How can somebody abandon his own siblings who have always been there for them and continue to do so even though they do not deserve the love and affection they get? How does somebody cut off all ties with his family then having the nerve not to take the blame and to blame everybody else but themselves? It is said that a person changes once they get married, Honestly i can say I have seen that this is true before my very eyes. They say Karma will come back to bite you, well i hope that this is true, some people deserve the treatment they put others through.

They say that a man is nothing without his family. I can only agree with this, i am nothing without my mother, father, brother, sister and grandparents and i feel blessed to have such a wonderful family!
