My cousins were all much older than me/lived far away, so we barely have a relationship at all. It varies from family to family and culture to culture, but it is weird being so distant from all my relatives when up until now our family used to be so much more tight knit. I don’t really regret not being close to my family but, it must be nice to have cousins/relatives who feel like close friends

I used to when I was younger, then starting in high school I started seeing less and less of them at family gatherings. Then eventually my cousins stopped talking to me. Covid hit, and I’ve really only seen my grandparents since

My cousins are all very close with eachother except for me and maybe one other cousin. My cousins kinda all separated into age groups. The younger cousins all hangout. And then the older cousins hangout except they are cliquey and then it’s just me and that one cousins but he’s chill.

We don’t really have much in common other than almost all of us love coffee. So my mom and her sisters always made a point of gathering us all together and having coffee and bakery goods together. We also just recently started going on family trips. And do fun touristy things which I think all this helped strengthen bonds. I just wish we could all hangout with anyone being superficial or Age-ist.

So if y’all could all find something you like. Whether it’s your heritage, a family recipe, or trips. Get creative with planning activities around those things and be consistent. Then those relationships will thrive.
