Family that Schitts together stays together


 Okay, well, you don't actually have to shit together. It was just a pun. Please, please don't shit with your parents. i know this isn't something you NEED to tell someone...


I watched Schitts creek recently and fell in love with it. Those who don't know, schitts creek is a TV show. That's all the Information I will give you because you need to watch it.


I've realized I love family shows because they show somewhat dysfunctional families who love each other, have their issues and a whole lot of drama but still slowly and steadily learn how to love each other and are there through thick and thin. I try to think about how my family has progressed over the years. The Deshmukhs are insane, we have our challenges, trauma, pending therapy sessions, arguments, and so much more but as we go through crap we somehow get closer. Ironically, some of the relationships have improved. I finally realize, that my parents aren't perfect. They don't know what they're doing either and are just trying to figure life out as we are. They're giving their best, that's all that matters. Not everyone has the luxury we have. We have been facing everything that has been going on in our lives, together. We never did that before. We were never a unit. This will sound funny but we became a team and our house feels like a home now. I've not felt this way in maybe 19 years of existence.


The Rose's (from schitts creek) were never truly a family but how they grew closer, embraced each  others quirks, were there to dance when their kids fell in love and were there to lend a shoulder when they lost love, were keen on building a life together and how they bonded has been so beautifully written. It makes you happy.


My sister and I mostly spent time in our rooms, but now we are learning how to be together as a unit. We cook together, have started eating dinner together, watch telugu movies together and now my dad has also started participating in cringe yet cool reels with us. I've come to realize how important and beautiful having a family is. it feel like these, you have these handful of people who have to love you no matter what and will also cause you a lot of pain but that's okay.


Every time I think of my future I envision having a happy family, a family I can live life with, I can cry with, I can yell at or boss around, and kids I could fuck up in my own way because they won't be allowed near my ice cream. I don't share ice cream. That's how it is. I'm sorry but their therapist would need some content right.


You know what I felt after watching schitts creek, Kisi ki bhi family perfect nai hoti but as long as you experience life together and are there for each other nothing else matters. You're always greater than whatever challenge or problem you have. You're here to heal and live life imperfectly with a lot of beautiful pain to deal with. I'm saying this now but there are days I want to sit crying and am frustrated but guess what, who isn't. I guess that's life. That's how it's supposed to be. Make it fun. Love. Spend time with the fam, switch on the fan.

Very random I know but trust me, eating one meal a day or doing one activity a day together will make an enormous difference. I have experienced it. You aren't entirely alone anymore.


Watch schitts creek.


last but not the least
