What lessons did you actually learn from your folks vs. what you purposely ignore????
Aw we grow up and become adults and all that shiiiit, we find ourselves in some ways becoming our parents and in others making our own paths. I am curious to know what you leaned from your folks versus what you absolutely refuse to be taught by them.....
I had 4 parents (divorced and remarried) and learned that there were 4 wrongs and 4 rights to every situation, cause they rarely agreed on much. Having had this kind of upbringing made me aware that there are no absolute right or wrong solutions to most problems. I think it is this that made me pretty open minded compared to people who grew up with more defined rights and wrongs in their lives.....
They told me not to smoke, drink or take drugs, and only to have sex with folks I loved. I didn't listen.
They told me to love myself and although it took a lot of pain to figure out how to do it, I finally learned :-)
They told me that what other people think of me doesn't matter. I care now what people I love think of me, but not what people I don't know think of me.
