The Blood of the Covenant is Thicker Than the Water of the Womb

It has been over a year since I've updated you. I'm sorry, Bloggy Blog. I'm also sorry if anyone gave a shit to read the blog. Things haven't been great for me for a couple of years now. I'm living with my parents. I'm 31. I'm getting my life back on track. I do have an amazing boyfriend though. Scary shit, y'all.

But back to why I titled this blog this way:

Everyone always says "blood is thicker than water" as if to mean that family is more important than anything else. But this saying is all wrong. The "blood of the covenant" is likened to soldiers injuries and dying on the battlefield, not a bloodline. Which is convenient if you think about it because a know a LOT of people who can barely tolerate their families. Blood is thicker than water is the battle cry of narcissists everywhere.

It's okay to hate your family. It sucks that it's a reality. But chosen family is the family that matters.
