Important Relationships in My Life

Carleen Brandenburg

Everybody has a few important relationships in their life that make them who they are. Sometimes their children and friends are their relationships that help them be who they are and sometimes it’s their family. A relationship that people have could even be their enemies, even if it’s not a good thing that the enemy of a person is what’s important for them. For me, I think of my friends, family, and significant other as my important relationship. My family, friends, and significant other are the people who have helped me become who I am today.

Family is important to me for a few reasons. My family has always been there for me no matter what I did. Because they were always there for me, I feel as though I can trust them with most everything I say. I’m glad to be as close to my family through various family bonding activities. The activities that helped me bond to my family were eating dinner and other meals together, having game nights on some Sundays, and going on vacations with them. Jane Howard once said “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.”

Just like family being important to me, I also feel as though my friends have helped me become a well-rounded person.  Friends are just like my family to me, because they helped me through so much.  My friends influenced who I’ve become and influenced my personality as well. They have helped become the best person I could be, even if what they have told me made me sad sometimes. Since they have helped me become a good person, I can trust them with my secrets, since I know they won’t betray my trust.

Having a significant other is just like a friend but I can connect with him on a deeper level. My significant other is the one person I can tell absolutely anything to and not have to worry about it. He is the person that makes me feel completely special and good about myself. My significant other is the person that I can love so much. Intimacy is important in this relationship, especially if it’s emotional intimacy.

Although everyone has different relationships that make them who they are, my family, friends, and significant other have helped me become who I am today. I’m always so thankful for these people in my life and I always will be.
