My Ideal Family Structure

 This is my ideal family structure. In the first
picture, the family is getting along together
completely and having a reunion with all of
them. I am always fond of spending quality
time with my loved ones, especially my cousins. I
like to hang out with them because they are like
a friend on whom I can count. My aunts, uncles,
nephews, nieces, cousins, and the whole family
are my strong foundation and my deep roots of
where I come from. At the reunion, most of us
really enjoy it because we provide some
activities for us to make the reunion absolutely
memorable. We play games, talk to one
another, and eat together. The most exciting
thing the reunion have is the food. Many foods
are gathered in the dining room wherein after
the program we eat together celebrating the
togetherness of our family. Eating together for
me is very important because it makes the food
warmer and more enjoyable to eat.

 I want my family to be able to show their
vulnerable side so that the problems they are
holding in won’t overflow until it explodes
because I know how it feels to have a problem
and make it a secret all to my own. So I would
rather have my family or relatives show their
vulnerability so that I can understand them if
ever they are experiencing bad days or even a
good one. I want to deeply understand how they
feel, simply to empathize with their feelings
because family is there for each other in times of
calamities, major and minor problems, and
sickness. I believe that a happy family and
feeling a strong connection with them can
produce hormones like dopamine, and reduces
stress, burdens, and anxieties. To have a healthy
relationship with them can indicate a stable and
healthy relationship with them and also be able
to have stability within self and healthiness in
my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual
aspects. I am very much thankful that somehow
my family and relatives are like this.

 They really want to have reunions and
gatherings with all of the family clans. We
usually celebrate it on the beach because it is a
wide place perfect for us to gather and also
children are able to have fun in the ocean. To
sum it all up, this is my ideal family structure. I
chose to use these pictures because it is what
resemble my family and according to my ideals.
The family structure that is ideal is already in
my life, which is my family. I am already
contented and happy because of who they are
and their roles in my life. We hold ourselves as a
strength, a shoulder to rely on, and an
inspiration to each other. Because of them, I am
who I am now. And without them, I couldn't be
here on earth. They are important beings I
treasure and forever will be
