Product Information

Some have been friends for more than 30 years. Others, I’ve known for a year or less. Yet, we share a bond, a connection. They feel like family – like I can always count on them to be there for me.

Friends help us with the family. They are there if we need to talk. They are there to listen. But they also tell us if we are wrong and if we should just listen to what mom is saying. Because they have nothing to hide. And they know us best. That is why they tell us the truth. Friends make you laugh Friends are your chosen family." It's a saying we often hear, but know that it should really be reserved for our most trusted companions. Sure, all friendships are special, but when we think about those who have been there for us through our hardest times, the people we spend the holidays with, and those who we speak to every day, the word friendship just doesn't do them justice. Simply put, they're family. I’m gradually starting to realise that I haven’t failed at friendship, and perhaps I don’t need a posse to thrive after all. My long search to find it has made me open to welcoming new friendships at each stage of my life. I’m definitely going to join that choir though. Sally Baker’s tips for happier friendships It worked for me The best part about having a chosen family is sharing your joys and successes with them. They celebrate your victories like their own. A chosen family is a reminder that love knows no boundaries. It’s a love that transcends race, gender, and culture.

Friends are the family we choose for life

There’s something magical about the bond between chosen family members. It’s a love that transcends bloodlines and defies explanation. Have you ever stopped to think about your chosen family’s impact on your life? They’ve helped you become who you are today, and you’ll always be grateful for that. Your chosen family is the group of people who make you feel like you belong. They’re the ones who give you a sense of purpose and direction.

However, there are those that would argue their relationship with their family is almost non-existent at best. Many people never see their family, or unfortunately, some people might not have any family left. They celebrate with you, they cry with you, they hold you when you need to be held. they laugh with you. They’re mean with you! They’re always there, and it’s just a priceless thing to have.” – Jennifer Lopez Similarly; friends can support us when things do inevitably go wrong; without being significantly impacted by our circumstances. For the most part, their lives go on as normal when things do go wrong for us, while we tend to lean more heavily on family for any housing, caring, financial or medical supports we find ourselves requiring. When you find your chosen family, you find a support system that will help you weather any storm. They’re the ones who lift you up when you’re feeling down. Don’t worry about the family that ignores and acts like you don’t matter. Love the ones who are always there for you, no matter what.”The quote “friends are the family we choose” is meant as a compliment for friends and friendship. But it’s also a nice way to say we may like our friends better than our families. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching – they are your family.” – Jim Butcher
