something about your upbringing. Your relationship with your family as you grew up and how your parents made sure you weren’t a cracked egg ( well i wouldnt judge if you havent turned out what i call decent in my dictionary)
I never really spent too much time with my parents… I actually sometimes think I missed out my chance to be sane… but then again I would never betray my Master and Great Uncle… he made me what I am and helped preserve and pass on the old ways to at least one of my fathers Sons. I’m just glad my elder brother never went to Gilgit… fate is inexorable. :faris:
My parents gave up every luxury in life and proximity to their loved ones and their friends for betterment for their children. When they said - children come first they meant it and showed it.
It was an adjustment for my mom to leave such a lavish life - moving from a mansion to a 2 bed apartment and start from strartch in a new country, a new culture but it really taught us that you don’t need money/things to be happy.
My family has been ruled by 3 basic values; education for yourself, care for those around you and the right action/speech/livelihood (basically morality) towards others.
My parents were like very strict to begin with specially in my teens. And now i just realized they are very protective and has been since i know.Our relationship wasnt at the best but i know ,i know them better than they know me.i have always been a quiet child and um so that means i wasnt very comfortable sharing anything with anyone at home. I still have some days when the only words i mutter are yes, no or i dont know.
And because they were very strict, it made me the rebellious self and taught me how to fight .But on the same note, i turned out just right better than most i know/have seen.
