RE: Diary of A Free Spirit Ep. 4 - How I Ended Up Being a Law Student
i can relate to a lot of this (wren). i too was really influenced by what the older people in my life wanted-- up to a certain point while in college.
i think it's super natural for young impressionable and sensitive souls to be that way! that or rebel totally! but acceptance is easier in some ways, isn't it? at least until we strengthen those inner intuitions and reserves to know our direction and what we truly want.
sounds like your teacher and mom were definitely forces to be reckoned with! ini's is similar (remember, pisces like you!) and def had to rebel to break out of that unyielding voice that never heard him. i think it's tough to grow up with parents like that. then again, we all do the work to heal from our upbringings in whatever way we need to in order to be our best bright shining selves. look forward to the next installment! :)
Wow, I simply love the way you articulated these truths. Spot on! I resonate with every single word you said and I have been through the same learning experiences. I can't wait to meet you in person and share more! Thanks for such a thoughtful comment, it means so much to me when people genuinely connect this way. I feel a bit bad for not taking the time to truly delve into other jems here on steemit, as life calls me to be present in real life rather than online at the moment. But I will be checking out more ecotrain articles soon, that's for sure. You guys are just so lovely. Sending you so much love.
