so, my family is so unconventional to most. especially on my mom's side. anyway, her eldest sibling is almost 30+ years older than her, and her youngest sibling is 8 years older than her. most of her nieces and nephews are around her age, give or take. all of the cousins that I grew up with, were my second cousins.

anyway, I went with my mom to one of her photoshoots, and I got to meet some cousins. my mom's cousin— she's older, with grown kids and a granddaughter. but this is so normal to me, and I forgot that most people's families aren't like this. so yeah, it was really weird when I remembered that most people have normal families unlike mine.
