I empathize. That's why in a way our friends are more meaningful to us than our family: they took the time to get to know a complete stranger (having not known us our entire lives), they accept us and our flaws, and most of the time they try to be there for us more than and in some ways better than our family can be. You are more of a sister to me than a friend, because you are my family. You aren't just my best friend anymore, and I accept you and any crazy, wild, or random decision you make. Family is less accepting of who we really are, because they put up seeing is grow from a naive child into an adult. They can't really accept us making our own decisions.
