Life Lessons

The main life lesson my parents have ever taught me is that there is no strict set of rules that dictate how you life should be led. This is something they have taught me not just by sitting me down and saying it, but by the actions they have done in life and the way they have raised me. I don't think I can once remember my parents saying not to do something because it's too weird or too different, in reality they almost encourage me to be different. Looking back there are so many things I have done in my life that personally if I was there, watching myself from the past as me now, I wouldn't even think before telling me from the past to stop (take a second to process that whole sentence).

With this in mind, I personally do think some things are...a little weird, but rarely will I say that out loud because everyone has the right to express themselves in their own way. As I've grown older I've taken a lot from this whole life lesson. I know that no matter what I do even if the rest of the world judges me, my parents won't judge me (that's definitely not 100% true). Along with this affecting my personality in life it also affects how I treat other people. Although I said before that every once in a while I think other people are a bit weird, everyday I get a bit more accepting of other people and maybe, just maybe someday I'll be able to tolerate a weird messed up child such as myself.
