This was a fascinating read! And a very relatable one - I often wonder that about my own siblings, though coming from a fairly enmeshed family background, I think some distance would be advisable for my extended family.
Well, at least my BFF and I are seeing each other a few times each year.
Ah, the family we choose. <3 That's important, I think. And while it didn't turn out as you might've hoped two decades ago, presumably you're not in a place in life where you'd exactly want to spend every weekend face-down in a bucket of tequila anymore anyway, right?
We grow as we move. It's up to us if we grow together or apart. :)
Haha, yeah. Although I didn't take it literally at that time. Come to think about it, we don't even drink beer these days, so Tequila would be a no-no 😅
Very well said. You made a great point there. Thank you 😉
