Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between one's biological family and the chosen family they create throughout their life. It highlights the idea that although we are initially connected to our family through blood relations, we also have the power to form deep and meaningful connections with others who may not be related to us. It acknowledges the importance of friendship, love, and camaraderie in shaping our sense of belonging and support system, suggesting that the family we choose can be just as significant and vital as the one we are born into.
