The neck of a yellow excavator foots the bottom of a scene located in the Meat-Packing district of a bustling Manhattan, the smells of Chelsea Market wafting over. Shadows consume the urban landscape, lining every automobile and defining every storefront. Bright, vibrant colors contrast the darkness, fighting for their time with the viewer’s eye.

The definition of the word “family” is “the basic unit in society traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children,” according to Merriam-Webster. But families are complicated. What about half-siblings? And can you still call someone a member of your family even if you’re estranged?

I tried way too hard in high school. I was raised to believe a person’s high school performance determined everything for the rest of their life. Therefore, I got straight A’s, and I sucked up to nearly every teacher I met. I wore a cardboard box on my head, and I drew whatever face on it that would appeal the most to everyone else. Junior year, I had to watch a TED Talk about answering the “big question”: How do you decide what you are going to do with your life? This was an important question to me, and one I was struggling with. While I was watching this TED Talk, one thing the speaker said stuck with me. She advised the audience to pursue what they are good at, rather than what they necessarily want.
