As obnoxious as this title might seem for a teenager , it is still a stepping stone worth considering before putting a foot on it. A Family to one day call your own , a family to one day shoulder its responsibilities. What is a Family ? Who is a Parent ? I guess these are all basic terms in the family tree that one is acquainted to or at the very least we think we are acquainted to. A family or a parent is more than people related to us by blood ; well in the lay sense,  our family and parents are those who we share ties to by blood directly or indirectly but with the way things are going now in this century , the family based term are judged based on relationship to one another and ties with people closed by sometimes responsibilities , commitments, trustworthiness, undying love and so on . A person can be your brother or sister and yet not do half or have impact on one's life as much as a non-relative would .

Well , when I am talking about my dream family  I am not saying I want to be surrounded by group of nobodies with no ties whatsoever to me and neither am I saying I want to be surrounded by people with blood ties to me but no impact . A family in my definition would be a group of people bonded by not just blood ties or paternal/maternal trees but people bonded by mutual beliefs, trustworthiness, hope , unshakeable faith , trust ,reliability and a sense of belonging of being responsible for one another . Those notions might sound absurd and out of the blues but that is what I feel a family should contain and be built around . Of course,  I want to get married and have kids and build a family of my own having blood ties with me but not withstanding building bond and ties with people outside your circle and comfort zone in whom you can have trust in and confide beats having a whole escort of guards at most times .

What family should be the goal then is what you might ask  ? Well,different strokes for different folks. We all need to know what suits each and every one of us and where our comfort zone lies . My typical family would consist of my wife and two kids - a boy and a girl - whom my financial status would be able to cater for . A partner in whom I can put my trust in and that can share my responsibilities, my burden , my dreams,  my pains.

Nothing also beats the joy of having to call someone yours as in a family as it is also a gathering where those who hold you dearest to heart are found. Togetherness in a family also drives them into accomplishing so many things that would be out of their grasp if there weren't in unity .

My Dream Family is that gathering and pack of people in whom I cherish and gear to achieve great things with out of their grasp if there weren't in unity .
