Most people have heard the phrase ‘blood is thicker than water’, especially when trying to justify toxic familial relationship obligations.
The thing is, though, that the actual quote blows up the whole argument!
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
This literally means that the relationships you cultivate are stronger than the ones you were born into.
So, the next time someone tells you that ‘blood is thicker than water’, you educated them on the actual quote before you walk away.
Love you,

I did not know this! Thank you for the illumination.
