Framily

I learned the term "framily" this week - the family we make of our friends. I have several distinct "framilies," or what I like to call "non-traditional families." I loved the film Eat, Pray, Love because it featured framilies in a way that was familiar to me. Love can take so many forms and any time it is unconditional, that is family to me, whether or not we are related. I love both Wellesley and SR because of the sisterhood/siblinghood that they cultivate, and I even love watching brotherhood portrayed in shows like Entourage and Sons of Anarchy. We are at our strongest when we can feel the support of a community behind us.
