Apples and Oranges... Really?


So I was evaluating my life and my priorities and I was thinking.
So my friends are my friends and I love them and would try my hardest to help them when they needed it.
And my family is my blood and I am supposed to help them when they need it.
But where does LOVE come into play???
Now I know most of you have seen Deliver us from Eva. And if you haven't you are straight tripping! All I can think about is Mike Epps character asking Megan Good's character, "Baby I wanna be an Orange, Not an Apple." Because Megan Good's character and her sisters were so close and Mike Epps was her husband and he didn't get to feel like family, only her husband....
Enough about the movie...
I was thinking about my man and my family and where he would fit. I mean for me its pretty easy (sorry girls) but he comes before you guys because he's the one I have to come home to at night not you guys. But for my family that is hard. That's like my ex-boyfriend didn't come to my graduation because his aunt was in the hospital. I mean it wasn't his mother it was his aunt... To my mother I should have been put first in this situation because I was his girlfriend, but me I wasn't very upset with him because if one of my aunts gets sick and is on her death bed, I am going to be at that hospital.
I would never expect for my family to be so selfish though... Auntie is still going to be in that hospital 2hrs later after i done walked across the stage. My best friends couldn't even go because I gave 3 tickets to my boyfriend and his mom and dad.
But fast forward to the now... I'm moving back home to be with my granny. I love her to death and she comes before any man I will ever meet. But with that said I would hope my man would like to meet my granny and care for her as much as I do so that if she leaves me we can grieve together. There is nothing worse than grieving by your self.
On a more positive note I hope my man likes kids because he will be spending a lot of time with my nieces and nephews!!! And I would put them before him too. But once again if he would like to be apart of my life maybe he would want to be apart of my family's life.
When you merge your relationship with your family, it makes you stronger. Like I think that once your mate meets your family they get to see the real you. And that is so important.
OooooOOOooo Which brings me to another topic... You just can't take every guy/girl home to meet mom and pops! That will be my next post! Lol Next time yall...
