Chosen family

You can't choose your biological family, but you can select what family looks like for you--friends, blood relatives, mentors, etc. Do you have chosen family?#nedranuggets #setboundariesfindpeace #setboundaries #nedratawwab #healthyrelationship #healthyboundaries #boundaries #dramafree #healthyfamilies

To some, the true meaning of family means a group of people related by blood or ancestry. To others, it has nothing to do with genes and everything to do with love, compassion, and support.

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves

Friends become our chosen family ♥

"I'm a social chameleon who adapts to the people around me, hiding the ‘unacceptable’ parts of myself depending on the company. As a result, I'm not sure who the unvarnished, unmasked me is — I'd like to find that person. It probably would be less stressful and not so freaking isolating.”
