My Blog today comes to you from something I noticed in my everyday life today while meeting up with some of my siblings. It’s amazing how Family can be the most negative thing in a person’s life. The T.V. stereo type family that is all supportive and stands as one and so on is not really what I’ve seen or lived. I’ve said things with in my family while we’re together and it’s usually met with negativity or greatly read into. A simple Hello from me is weighed and looked at and then responded to. I must be careful what I say, how I say it and be able to explain WHY I said it. I’ve heard a family member repeat word for word something I said about 15 to 30 minutes ago and it’s met with laughter or an understanding look of acceptance. But when I said it earlier, it was met with raised eyebrows, deep sighs and a total lack of laughter or understanding.
I can say things to friends and even strangers, getting a hardy laugh or nod of acceptance in agreement. So, it used to pain me to have to work so hard at being someone I am not and instead of who I really am. All for the sake of family acceptance. I would see how the others did band together and took each as an individual, not trying to change or control them. As for me, yep, it was and is a whole other story. Don’t know when exactly it took that turn but it did. I learned about keeping a distance and treating everyone the same, family or not. It took a funeral to get us all back in the same room. Wait, they were already in the same room, it was me that was now allowed in for a little bit. Funny thing is, after a few moments with them I realized being apart wasn’t such a bad thing after all. It took years to learn how to act in public and try to live the dream of one day being accepted and well liked. That is a dream better left as just that, a Dream! The only person you need to be liked by is yourself. Sure it’s nice to have a lot of friends and be popular but at the end of the night, as you crawl into bed, who is there with you if you’re not married? It’s all just you, so you better like you or it’s going to be a long night.
People spend their lives searching for and never finding the acceptance they want and it’s really all because they never really liked themselves. When you like yourself you also gain a shield or a type of protection in a way. It seems that when you have gotten to this point of your life and really like yourself, the woes words and actions of those around you seem to not have the power they once had, and you can maintain a more positive and even productive lifestyle. To like yourself is truly the first step to a rather awesome life. I’m not talking about being rich or well off or even super popular. I’m talking about being less stressed, less negative and a lot less touchy about what life throws at you. So even when it’s family being all up in your face remember to like yourself no matter what they say. Family isn’t always right. It would be nice, but reality dictates that it’s not.
