[Lyrics of "Potential"]
I think it's...its who you value. What do you value? And... not every sibling can be friends. You have to differentiate. Sometimes that is enough like... you know... I love you, I've got you, if anything goes down and, and that's the essence of the family. Not everyone who has family has a relationship, so I think ... if you merge the two then that's where people get confused, you know i think..... you have to make conscious decisions, and i think also, it's also about stages of life as well. When people are building, sometimes they don't have time...like... so like when you said. You only meet people when...you know there's something for you to do or you're already doing it, so it's easier to meet them because you're building.

Or because friends don't necessarily have to have the same interests. Right? Especially when we start talking about goals and goal oriented. So it means you can make a conscious decision to do something together in order to solidify a relationship. So you grow up around somebody's house, together you work again to solidify that circle. Right? You're obviously different, you obviously have different interests. Right? It doesn't mean you shouldn't spend time together because you're different, right?
That's not valuing what's at home or not being conscious of where you are. And then you start spinning out to start moving to making your friends your family. Again this is because of the instability you're taught. Because of.... broken pieces...
