Quotes About Friends Being Family

Friends walk into our lives and sometimes, eventually become family. They set roots so deep into our lives that we can’t imagine navigating through life without them.

These friends see our imperfections and love them while we can only pick them out. They are real people who have your back all the time, not because they have to but because they want to. When you meet such friends, you tend to feel like you suddenly got something right in life.

These friends are the family we get to choose.

Below are some of the best quotes on friends becoming family.

You don’t have to have the same blood to be family.

Family isn’t defined only by last names or by blood; it’s defined by commitment and love. It means showing up when they need it most. It means having each other’s backs. It means loving each other even on those days you struggle to like each other. It means never giving up on each other!

Family isn’t always about people in your life who are blood relations. It’s about the people in your life who want you to be in theirs. It’s about the people in your life who accept you for who you are, support you in the things you choose to do and no matter what, are there for you. It’s the people in your life who love you, respect you, and who you can depend on.

Sometimes you meet someone and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet this people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or luck, or fate, or sheer blind luck but it definitely makes me believe in something.

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

Fr-amily. Friends so close to you. Consider them family.
