Family First, Family Forever.

Todo para la familia. It’s one of my favorite Spanish quotes which means- Everything for family. I always try to maintain that fact, but sometimes when I have to choose between my family and friends I seem to be on the horns of a dilemma. But the end of the day, always, I decide to be with my family. No matter what, family will always be there for you. There is nothing worth than family support. Friends are also important but it can’t compete with blood relations. So certainly, family is something you can completely rely on with your eyes closed. I always consider myself lucky that I belong to a decent, yet an awesome family. I feel proud to be a part of it.

“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you 

without flinching -- they are your family. ”

So this Eid, I had spent my entire day with my siblings, cousins and mom, dad, grandpa, uncle, aunty. I felt so good and secure with them. I spent hours and hours having gossips and watched animation movies. Didn’t get bored or something. I had an invitation to a friend’s party which I declined the day before eid because I knew that it was the only occasion I could spend with my entire family so I didn’t wanna waste that chance. And I didn’t.

I had my stomach full.  I ate a lot at my aunt’s house and my mom’s. So yes I was feeling kinda dizzy and thought I was gonna explode anytime soon.

Youth violence is spreading over almost every country in the world. I think “family” has something to do with it. Teen agers are hard to handle. I understand that because I am seventeen and I’m troublesome to my parents. This is a very sensitive period so I think family support and appreciation is very much needed at this stage. Sometimes it’s hard to cope up with elders in family but I guess teens should at least have a little respect for their elders. Because they have seen the world much more than we did. And for elders, yes we have a lot of demand from them. At least they should try to understand our feelings and know that change is not bad. They shouldn’t get afraid to welcome the new ideas of youth. They should appreciate and get inspired.

“Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.”

One should not feel left or unappreciated in his/her own family. I think that a healthy and happy family leads to a peaceful world. So get attached with your family. It’s a pretty precious thing to have. If you don’t wanna lose it then please! Take a good care of your family members. Love them, hug them and grow old with them! 

“What can you do to promote world peace? 

Go 

home and love your family.”
