FAMILY VS. FRIENDS . . . ARE YOU CONFUSED ??? READ ON :)

I confronted one of the most important questions which teens generally come across. Where it becomes hard for them to choose one !!. I wish and think that my blog will help you out. Read on and decide, listen to what your heart says :)


I agree that there are talks and things which you can’t share with your family, people say that there are secrets which cannot be shared with family. Like your first crush, your first affair, your love life, your first date & the list goes on. It’s good to be around with people of same age as yours as they have the same mindset and they share the same energies with you. I agree due to generation gap many of us have never shared our secrets with our family, but if you try to share each and everything with them I bet they will understand you, they always do that!! It can never be ignored that whenever in trouble they defend us and in joy they celebrate with us. Our Family stands with us no matter what. It’s a relationship which stands beside us for no reason, NO REASON AT ALL!! They love you, treat you as your own, show you right way, stand with you all the time be it good or bad, encourage you, and make you believe in your dreams, help to chase them (dreams), and try to provide the best of your lives, without expecting anything in return. They love us unconditionally and wish to see us happy and successful. If they restrict us doing something it’s for our good only, we may not like and offend their decision at that time but in the end, after years have passed, we do realize the fact that it was for our good only. They sacrifice everything to see you happy and make you smile. They always wish to see you progress and achieve the heights of success.

Friends are indeed important!! But they stand at different place when it comes to relationships. They hangout with you, they party hard with you, they stroll and make you happy all the time. But when you are with your family they make you feel comfortable and complete, secure and loving, moreover when we have friends who care and share and stands through all the ups and downs of our life we start considering them as family, remember the punch line?? “tum to ghar ke hi ho, tumhse kya chupana!” which translates “you are as my family, there is nothing that I’ll hide from you!!”.

To me it’s easy to find a friend in family, than finding a family in a friend. My mom is my friend who cares, shares, assures and secures. My dad is my friend, philosopher and guide to me who encourages all the time to chase my dreams, no matter how hard it is !! My brother is my friend who teases, fights, gets angry, shouts all the time but then in end of the day brings me a box full of chocolates shares and eats with me. Friend’s do have an important place in any one’s life but not more than a family. Family member can forego their dreams and career for you, I hardly see any friend doing that in today’s world!!!

Moreover it’s not all about blood relations, it’s all about the depth of understanding you share with them  :-) Friends do hold an important part but if you ask me to choose one from them I will always say “Family Comes First”


Thank You.
