Life.

Acceptance is really difficult for me. I work out in my head that since I can't change certain situations or people, I have the power to change myself and perspective on the situation. I grew up thinking negatively all the time. I argued with my mother that it is in my genes and she then continued that I should not blame her or my father. However, I am not blaming my parents. I am blaming my DNA or genes. Depression does run in my family and yet my mother is in total denial about this particular fact. So negative thinking does impact my quality of life, especially during that time of the month. I constantly have to remind myself to think positively about life and future outcomes because I swing toward the negative.

Right now I am currently working through my own internal issues on people's chosen lifestyles and particular industries that I do not favor. I believe much of my distaste of it stems from my experiences from my childhood. My view point on the roles of men and women was distorted as a child and I have a lot of anger because of it.

I don't want to adhere to any sort of role, but would rather carry things out for my own sake.

I am very impacted and am experiencing a lot of hurt. I am trying to figure out the normal things that 25 year olds figure out and asking myself questions like: Can I do this? Is this what I want? Is this acceptable for me? Is this the right choice? Is this workable? What are the necessary steps? Do I want to engage? Is there a solution? Do we have the same values?
