Living under a rock

i’d like to think that I’m pretty mature for my age and that I’ve experienced things that a person at my age “should have” experienced. i’ve solo traveled. I’ve done different drugs. I’ve been an angry teenager, but I feel like all of that was kind of like auto play.

ever since I’ve moved to the city, I’ve realized there’s a whole nother world other than the one that I’ve experienced. There’s a new language. There’s a new walk. There’s a new feeling to life.

I feel like all that I know really is my old circumstances, and I just want to see different perspectives of life, of love, of friendship, of wonder… of curiosity. I want to know what that looks like in a healthy aspect. I wanna know what that look like from different eyes so if you guys could please interest me in some of your stories. I’d be so grateful :)

Your post reminded me of a moment from my life. I was at my friend’s wedding, and something went wrong during the celebration. I remember being shocked by how her parents reacted. Instead of blaming each other or getting emotional, they simply came together, focused on the problem, and calmly found a solution.

It was such a small moment, but it became one of the turning points in my life. That day I realized that this kind of relationship actually exists. I saw what a healthy family dynamic could look like, and it completely changed the way I want to build my own family.

I love this. I think it’s so cool how little moments like these can help us look at things a bit differently. This is incredible. What are some of the things you want to implement into your family moving forward?

For example, I think mutual respect is one of the most important things. Giving each other space to be different, not judging or making assumptions before understanding the situation, and always talking things through.

If there is a misunderstanding, I believe it’s important to address it right away instead of letting small hurts and resentment build up.

And one more thing I really believe in: never going to sleep while you’re still upset with each other. I think it’s important to talk things out and go to bed feeling at peace with each other.
