a HUGE epitomy I had today. something that I will forever thank God and my parents for. The way to freakin raise your children is, when something comes up, even the tiniest issue, when it's time for a punishment or an explanation, explain ALL sides, don't blame the child, don't point the finger, make sure everyone's viewpoint is addressed, make sure everyone understands the situation and everything is told in a fair and just manner. I believe this is one of the biggest shapers of my whole outlook on life. this is one of those 'somethings' that i will never, ever, ever forget about, something that has catapulted me into being the person I am today, a person I'm proud of being. this is SUCH an important idea, such an important, yet simple and easy to apply task. calmly address every point, every angle, explain why the punishment or issue is being brought up, brought out, or addressed, and cut the problem off at the root, don't just discourage the effect of the cause. figure it out. solve it. put effort in. put love in. do it like you fuckin mean it. like it's the way it's supposed to be. like you really care.
i love you, mom and dad. thank you for creating an independent-thinking person, not just making me cuz you were bored and needed something to talk about or fill a void. i hope i make you proud. i hope i do you justice.
i will never be able to repay them. they love me more than anyone else will ever be able to. and i'm so proud of them. i hope they know how beautiful they are... and how beautiful you are, too.
