... Read moreLooking back over the past 20 years, I realize how vital family truly is in shaping who we become. Growing up alongside first cousins and siblings creates a unique support network that helps us navigate life's ups and downs. Every birthday and family gathering is a reminder of shared memories and the strength that comes from these relationships. Family means being there through thick and thin, celebrating milestones together, and offering comfort during challenging times. Even after two decades, the connection only grows deeper, proving that family is really everything. Gratitude plays a big part in appreciating these ties, as not everyone experiences such closeness. Personally, I've found that maintaining these bonds requires effort—regular communication, shared traditions, and making time for one another. It's not always easy, but the reward is a strong sense of belonging and love. Documenting these moments, like family photos on birthdays, helps capture the beautiful journey of growing up together. In essence, the past 20 years have been a testament to the power of family over everything else, reminding me to cherish and nurture these relationships every day.

I was in middle school and high school in the early 2000s so to say this music shaped my view of love is an understatement! This was my middle school era music and I finally got to sing these cheesy songs to my life partner as an adult & say I finally found the love that these songs sang about
