Gatherings is a social disguise for a struggle for position, wealth, knowledge and fame. Remind me why I officially disliked family gatherings because every second of it is pretentious.
Blood is thicker than water. Yes, formally. But how often do you hang out with your relatives? Instead the relationships you really need to maintain, to manage and to cultivate are those that are outside of your comfort zones, your friends, your colleagues. These are the people from different walks of lives with different lifestyles, different attitudes who learn with you practical life skills and force you out of your comfortable levels to adapt to the ever-changing world. Where are your relatives when you take on life challenges, which part of your life do they play apart in?
None.
Who then are always by your side when shit happens.
There's no denying that your immediate family and friends are the ones who define the way you are.
I dread this time of the year cause those meaningless mingling often demeans you and degrade you into nothing. Frankly, I do feel like an outsider in my extended family.
やまちゃん, i think maybe we are both bad at the same thing. But I believe we are both good at treasuring and protecting the important relationships in our lives.

Flavours of Life will be where I document some of those human mysteries I observe in my surroundings which most choose to ignore. It can be extremely interesting to stop, observe and reflect on them because you may be surprised by the sort of enlightenment one can gather from them. It is also here where I seek mental relaxation as it provides me with an escapism from the harsh reality. I will also use this space to immerse in my obsession for entertainment (Well, I can't quite move away from this since it is one of my main source of virtual happiness)
