Importanter.

I’m going away for an extended period of time soon. I’ve been buried in administrative work the past weeks, and had quite some stress about it.

Yet, I decided to spend a full week in the middle of that with both my chosen family and my blood family. Not because I had to. Not because of guilt. Not because of them pushing for it.

Simply because it’s the most important thing for me.

All of the admin is important. Family is more important. Chosen or not.

And I need to really emphasise that it’s not an easy choice for me. Routinely, I’m oriented around my work and obligations. I’ve had to battle some real ghosts in my head to pull through with this.

I’ve come out the other side, and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice.
