There is a proverb that says "blood is thicker than water" and surprisingly, it doesn't mean that family bonds are stronger

In fact, the original proverb is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", and actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics

So, in the end, the relationships you build are the ones that matter. 
With, or without family members.

Don't forget this. Love is earned, not coerced.

I was surpised and found out other proverbs are misinterpreted!

for example, "curiosity killed the cat" ends with "satisfaction brought it back" and it's not about NOT being curious, but rather about BEING curious bc it'll be worth it.

Thank you. Yes!!!. I’d always felt this was true, and to have it unpacked as actually meaning this inversion of the “on face value” meaning is golden.

Yea, me too! In fact, I was looking for it because in the meaning of "family is over everything" I used to hate this proverb. But then I found out this and I was like.. ohhhhhhhhhh woooooow

Oh wow. Total opposite of what I thought it initially meant haha

ahahahaha true 
how was your recovery from the c-sections, may I ask? I'm so afraid of having to go through them!

Okay so it adds the opposite, but I would like to add, as someone that has have two emergency c-sections, the water of the womb is definitely mixed with the blood of battle.
