this word has been bugging me for a good 3 months now. what do you do when all that you have grown up with turns out to be false? do u turn a blind eye to the fact that you have been living a lie. do you completely start over and relearn everything that you thought you knew? or do you make a hybrid learning anew about what you are while still embracing what you grew up to be.
where does the answer to this question lie? is it in your blood, genetics. or is it in your family? teaching you their ways, their habits, their traditions. or is this a case where the word only works for family in the traditional sense of the word. where your parents make you and then teach you. but what if you were made by a different combination of human beings than the ones that raised you? do you have your genetics and you up bringings? which are you more loyal to? or are they both equally as important? what if you dont feel connected to one? can you defect?
