It actually depends, but most of the time I think my family is more important. Why? Well, sometimes we might have a generation gap that might drift us apart, but every cloud has a silver lining. Those moments actually bring us closer. They usually support me too. They've got my back almost every day. So yes, they are my number one supporters, and I'll treasure them more than my friends.
