Just a Child
November 25th, 2011 § 2 Comments
When I was younger, around the age of seven, my father told me “I am an adult, you are just a kid. I am always right, and you are always wrong.”
Although it didn’t have a great impact on me at that time in my life, lately I have realized that it is something that has put a great burden upon me. When I think about it, I can feel hurt deep down inside of me, and I am just starting to feel that hurt now. Years later, I am realizing how that made me feel back then. Back when I must have been blocking out my feelings from trauma, etc.
But I am not writing this for others to pity me. I am not writing this for others to pity themselves. I am writing this, to share the overall outcome of my experience. I am not just a child. I never was, and never will be. Nor will you be, or your child (if you choose to have children), or your child’s child (if they choose to have children).
I have gained strength from what my father once said to me. I have learned to never be weak, yet always be slightly vulnerable, for it is always good to be at a peaceful balance. But, with control of that balance, for you must always be in control of your own life.
Whether you are a child yourself, an adult, or a senior, it is important to always remember: never let anyone tell you. Never let anyone tell you what ? Well, that is for you to answer.
Thank you for reading.
