Maybe family were the people who came looking for you when you were lost.

About This Quote

People often use the word “family” in the same way that they use the word “friends.” When someone says that they are related to another person, it is assumed that they are family, but this is not always the case. There are times when people use “family” to refer to people who are close to them or who want to be close to them. This is not how most people would use the word “family.” The idea of family is actually much deeper than just being related to someone. It is an idea about how we should treat one another and how we deserve to be treated.
