Chosen Family
I am designing an application for entry into my Chosen Family. Okay, just kidding, but that would be pretty cool--- imagine, with each new family addition, they had to apply for acceptance. Actually, I'd likely be the first NOT accepted in my family.
But, see, then I could start right away building my own Chosen Family! No years of struggling as a black sheep--just move right on to find your tribe! No years of feeling unheard only to realize they don't want to hear about anyone-- they just want to play pretend! "Jeez, Emily! Stop having feelings, please! It's awkward and we'd rather talk about real estate or someone's benign accomplishment, thank you."
I was picked with 9 others in my college degree program--after an extensive process. And I was actually more compatible with them than anyone in my family.
I don't know... might be a good idea, people.
