Growing up as someone who‘ve lived in the east, many of my kinds will strongly disagree with you. Strongly.
But, in the end you can, of course, choose whom you love, regardless of what you think about love itself and which you should love.
I choose to love my family back in south-east Asia (I live somewhere in Europe), because I know they’re the only ones who’ll be always besides me no matter in which kind of state I am in right now.
It’s also your choice to just be disconnected from your own bloodline and to love whom you think deserves your love. Because family isn’t about who they are and how long they’ve been loving you, but it’s about how they express their love to you and how sincere their love is.
I’m sorry if I’m blabbering or if you don’t fully understand my point.
