Day 8

There is nothing more important in the world than family. I mean maybe food.. I'm kidding mum if you're reading this!

They are the only people that are really there for you through thick and thin. Because you're blood you seem to have a much higher tolerance for their shit!

As we get older, we learn to appreciate them more as well I've found. When I was younger I used to argue with my family all the time, whereas now (even when I was still at home) the arguments were few and far between compared to then. The older I'm getting, the more my siblings and my parents are turning into the people that I tell everything, I don't wanna use the term best friends because that feels too cliche to me.

I love a good chin wag with my mum and dad and a gossip with my brother and sister these days, back in the day I'd sooner tell them to piss off than actually listen to what they had to say.

If there was one thing I wish I could say to my younger self, it would be not be so harsh on my family. They are the people that will put you back together again when you need it most. They are the people that when no one else wants to listen, they will hear out your ranting and be the most honest about what they think.
