    Family is the people who support you when you are both at your best and at your worst. Those who will give you safe harbor, whether physically or emotionally. They don't need to be blood, but they need to at least share some level of affection. They are warmth and caring and safety. People you can share with, wouldn't mind having a meal with, people you want to give to and make happy and safe as well.

    My greatest support. Those I unconditionally love and trust (even tho I hv trust issues). The reason I never felt the need to hv friends.

    Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

    My family,
    Are the reason I get up in the morning. They are the reason I work late into the night. They are the reason I keep going. Even if my knuckles bleed and my whole body hurt. I don’t regret a single moment.
    They are my happiness. My comfort and shelter.
    They mean everything to me.

    people i can feel safe with, people that i can act as nasty with them as i do when i'm alone and not feet self-conscious about it. people who i can fight with knowing that it won't change my relationship with them. family is the people i go to after a trip and feel like i've come home. not really got much to do with blood.

    Was gonna say this man, More than anything i think this is the best representation of what family should be (although most of he times you will be sick of someone family is always precious, each of us have our definition of family and people we might exclude from it, but who you define as family you should never leave behind.

    They are chains to one's freedom. Do not mistake chains as only downsides, because others would prefer to be chained than to be free all alone. I, prefer to be neither, because having a family is a sign of weakness for me. It means I have an origin that reeks of humanity. Sickening, I tell you. They are a constant reminder of my mortal stupidity. Ah, why I was born from this sinful flesh of insignificant waste of energy and matter. I don't hate them, just find them something I rather not have or come from. This is all the current me shall say, but another me would have state otherwise if circumstances were different. All in due time, when shall I cry or not for these packs of flesh yet to rot.

    Really depends on many things and is relative just as many things in this world, for example:
    At least One parent and at least one blood related child can be called a family (parents, children and grandchildren etc...)
    A group of people gathered together for some purpose and share common goal(s) or beliefs can be called a family (like the mafia)
    A group of people who cares for each other and also share strong bonds with each other can also be called a family (like the sworn brothers, sisters or adopted)
    And alot more definitions, point is a family must include collection or a gathering of people (although some would include animal or things as their family as well)

    The people closest to you. The bonds you cannot escape from. You’ll always think back to them even when they’re not there because you’ve lived with them, learnt from them and know them too well.

    Blood relation or not family is just family.

    Family are those that i can count on, whom i know have the best interest for me in their heart. And i will do my best for them. What they give, i will give back a hundred fold. Only then are they considered "family means no one left behind or forgotten".
    So far aside from my parents, siblings and a few aunt and uncles, the others are just meh. I only courteously help them because either my mom or dad asked me to.
    My cousins, god, some are like leeches.

    Reminds me of lyrics from Eagles' Desperado :

    And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
    Your prison is walking through this world all alone

    Personally I don't feel that way, but I can see it in a lot of people, so I understand it to a point.

    ...If it’s for a paper, then I guess you could research on how families lines were established for inheritance purposes. Like how peasants didn’t have a right to surnames because they had nothing to pass on. Curiously I saw it somewhere that some Japanese surnames had the same reading but slightly differences like one less stroke on some ideograms just to differentiate the 1st or 2nd branches so they could control land taxes more efficiently in the past.

    People who don't do anything except nagging and talking too much
    But at certain times this nagging and talk makes you feel warm inside :bloblove:
