I have often been told I have a habit of wanting to lift-up the runts, the underdogs the outcasts and so called losers.

In truth I don’t think of anyone that way myself and I get vastly disappointed in anyone that utters such words. I understand what they are implying but it tells me everything I need to know about the individual and what they focus on in their world.

There is much I do in secrecy I would think by now that much is known.

How do you stop people from just talking? How do you get people to take action?

I once told a girlfriend that we all effectively have at least “4 families” attached to ourselves. I don’t think she quite understood what I meant since I was told I’m talking nonsense.
What I should of started with was a talking about family trees, degrees of kinship and then move onto my observations of the postmodern family, paternal, maternal ah. Of course some people have nobody, I understand. But for those that do…

Do you know your family well, who are your cousins, got any half siblings?
Do you have a step parent and does their family treat you like their own, and is that forever or only if your step parent is with your biological parent romantically? What if you’re just close with everyone no matter how messy the situation is with potential scattered ex cousins and ex aunties and ex uncles in the future?

Do they know who you are? Are you invited to the cook out?

I once had a friend who has half siblings but no “full-blooded” siblings she had 2 half brothers one from her biological Mothers side and One from her biological Fathers however she had a Adoptive(Step) Father too and was relatively close to his Family and then one of her Half-Brothers had a Half-Sister himself who to her would be nothing really, in fact what do you even call that? A Half-Sister in- circumstance perhaps could be fitting. I once inquired if this Half-Sister in-circumstance would even know about you from your Half-Brother and her response was “I don’t know”.

It amazes be how people connected to the same person share something together vital but they have never spoken to each other directly and in some cases are not even aware the other exists.

I once knew a talented renowned Physicist well known by millions but not a household name and in a genre of music not generally known. He would perform to sold out audiences but in another nation. His parents to this day had no idea what he does professionally as in his home country he is rather private and their language is not the language he performs in. He was a real Hannah Montana.

You walk by unseen giants everyday.

Let me dial this back a little, as I’m not talking about degrees of separation.
When you go to family events (if at all) who’s side of the family is it essentially, would it be your mother’s side, your father’s family maybe it’s blended and if you have a step parent it’s theirs.

Have you ever met your “grandmothers” family, have you met your grandfathers family or have you only met a few family members?

There are some families where once it gets too chaotic you don’t even know the extent of your family.

In some cultures it is imperative to have strong connection to ALL members of the family should there be no issues among your Grandparents families, at the very least. “4” Families look out for you and you look out for them.

We live in a world of divorce, breakups, half siblings, step-parents, adoptive parents and more. Always been that way it’s just more apparent but jumping town or even country and starting or abandoning families is quite a common human tradition.


Can you imagine someone who is connected to all their “family” and that even every friend and their family IS FAMILY. Every potential family member from your birth knows who you are and they “Got You” and you got them. In every single sector of society, in every single nation on earth.


This is more than you having a family member that works at a bank so they can see that your spending habits and balances.

People can be friends with anyone and that tends to extend to their friends children and extended families under the right conditions.

People can be family with anyone and last names, ethnicities, financial status, education and more can be different from one member to the next. Sometimes by design other times by circumstance.

When your “family” is down do you help them?
When you are down does your “family” help you?

Who is your family?
