You have to make your own family, your own life.

About This Quote

You have to make your own family, your own life. Family can be a wonderful thing, but it does not belong to you. Family is a word that is thrown around a lot, but it is really just a word people use to describe their friends or those they choose to hang out with. You can choose to make new people your family if you wish, but the real family will always be those you choose yourself.

To make your own family, first you must make yourself a priority in the lives of those who matter to you. If they are not happy with you, it does not matter how much money you have or what kind of car you drive.
