Quotes

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. 

C.S Lewis

This quote relates to my life because I am blessed the friendships that I have made throughout my years have taught me to become more considerate, understanding, and has put me in situations where I must put myself in my friends' shoes. Just as C.S Lewis quotes, friendship is indeed one piece of the puzzle of life that gives it value and meaning. Friendship is a two way system where both parties learn from one another, and as the bonds of friendship grow stronger and stronger; its significance in life blossoms even more so.

Family is not an important thing. It's everything.

Michael J. Fox

Additionally, this quote relates to my life because for myself, family has so much meaning. We are a tight knit unit who supports each other, shares laughs and memories, stays together through the most luminous and the most sombrous of days, and more importantly, we love one another unconditionally. I know deep within that no matter what happens, my family will never leave me. As I have grown older, I have also learned that family does not have to be tied to an person by blood. Family can extend beyond that; simply characterized by love and affection towards an individual that is not necessarily a blood relative.
