Family will break you. There's little space for secrets when you come to a family retreat.
It's so funny, when you join twenty and something people with no resemblance other than the fact they share the same blood (by birth or marriage). You'll find yourself constantly in a social dance with no end in sight.
The kids play the games that we once played, the adults have the conversations we'll have in the future, as the and strong talk about the games they played, the conversations they'll have and the love that society keeps pulling away from them.
We sit at the dinner table, because there's no way better of keep all together and still. We group into the according age aggregates, and we talk… freeing ourselves of the censorship we have with a friend, we make jokes and do tricks, there's laughter in the menu accompanied of genuine laughter tears.
Secrets are unveiled in an unsecured manner; the only protection is really to lie… But why should you? In the end the dirt will be in everyone's hands, and the mud fight will be the funniest ever.
You'll learn to keep nothing hidden and give away all the shit, to keep the partners jealously crazy.

I have no respect for old school sense of family.
