I don’t want to toot my own horn but I was prob the fave kid in my household. I listened to everything my parents said, never got in trouble, and always got good grades. When I was younger, their words were like the bible to me. Even if I disagreed, I followed because I thought listening to them was what was best for everyone. Now that I’m older, I realized how wrong their words could be. I began to notice all the problems I’ve never seen before. I still have a certain level of respect and love for my parents. However, I no longer see them as perfect or the epitome of what I should grow up to me. Before, I looked up to them naively. They say ignorance is bliss. I kind of miss that childhood innocence and obliviousness because now it’ll never be the same.
Of course, if I went back in time, I will still very much listen to them. I mean I still listen to them now lol. It is the very least I can do for all that they provided me with <3
