Different, But Good

As a younger person, I had collected some friends that I would do all my activities with. We all created our own dynamic within our own wonderful friendships. We had inside jokes together, liked the same things, and enjoyed each other's company. The thing I found the most strange though, as I got to know them more, was the dynamic of their families. I always viewed it, as a child, that they were MY friends and I had My family. It was strange entering their home and seeing what their lives were actually like. It brought me to understand more of who they were. I would observe how they interacted with their mom, dad, brothers, and sisters. Sometimes it would even bring connections in my brain as to why they did the things they did. Each family has a different family dynamic and each one functions a little different. As I observed these families, I have seen many things I want to implement into my future family and some things I would want to watch out for as well. I have learned much from these different dynamics. I have also learned that just because it is not what my family does, does not make is wrong. There are many good things about different families that are good and bad as well. I love learning about other family dynamics and hope to use the best of them all in my own future family.
