Is blood really thicker than water?

Hey everyone, how have you been? As usual go ahead and answer that question out loud, then go and unload all of the experiences that you went through all week long. On that note Happy Halloween, one of my favorite holidays have arrived. Along with spooky season things in my life have become just as spooky. This past week has literally been one that will be always remembered. I had so many great moments, and accomplishments then on the other hand I have had just as many failures and bad moments. So, as you unload, you’re your week lets unload mine and decipher whether blood is really thicker than water.

If we were talking about this question in scientific terms then the answer would obviously be yes, but as I grew up, I always heard the term “Blood is thicker than water.” I was taught that it meant that your immediate siblings and family will always be there for you before your friends will. I have many questions about this term and how it came to be, also to what the logic was to it. In some ways I feel as though when family members try to beat this phrase and basically brainwash you into believing this phrase. It makes you try to give extra space within your boundaries to your family and siblings that you wouldn’t to people or friends.

If we are talking boundaries then we all have then, regardless of who you are with whether it be your significant other, your friends, your siblings, you family, etc. We all have a boundary that protects our peace and sanity and when you allow others to invade your boundaries consistently because they have the pass because its family and they always tell you if you don’t have your family no one will care for you like them in my opinion is ridiculous. I can honestly say yes, there is a love like no other that you get from family who loves you and RESPECTS your boundaries. That gives you motivation to be confident in yourself and helps you grow into the amazing person you want to be.

On the other hand, if you are consistently giving those members of your family that golden pass then you will be consistently subjecting yourself to mental abuse that will only have a negative effect on your life and health. I know that this is a topic that is very taboo in many homes, and cultures. There is always a notion that we must allow ourselves to be mentally abused or made uncomfortable because boundaries are being broken because there won’t be anyone else who will love you or care for you like they will.

Regardless of whether they are friend or family I believe that everyone should respect each other’s boundaries. I don’t believe that people should have to live surround by negativity that is continuously being emitted in your daily life. I believe that people have the right to be happy and live the way they choose. Then if you are not able to get that love and energy from the people who are surrounding you, trust me that there is a place for you. You should never feel as if without the support of family, you will be alone.

Life may be hard, the change will be tough, you will have to adjust and adapt to a whole new life to be able to gain that peace a purpose back. Once that happens and you are able to refocus and regain your confidence there will be an energy that will emit from your body. There is something about a positive energy it attracts different type of people to you. From that point it is your job to weed through the leaches until you are able to find the gems that will become a new support system. A group of people that help keep each other motivated.

So, no matter what life may bring, remember you are never alone no matter who may have to leave in order to keep your people. Blood is thicker than water but in life water is the thing that helps feed the soul and sometimes its what’s needed to save someone.

As always it is great to talk to you all. Continue to stay safe and healthy, remember you are never alone. There is someone out there thankful that you didn’t give up and kept going.
