Yeah it was fun growing up visiting my uncles and aunts families and meeting my cousins, family drama and moving away for work ended most of our communication over the years, I kinda miss my cousins but they are married now and have their own separate lives, I've never even met most of my nieces and nephews. Plus my university friends are all scattered now as well, I'm not sure how I can even make new friends now in my 30s, just hoping I find a good partner and that's enough
