We are who we are

We are who we are because of our family. Family is our biggest and strongest influence of who we are today. Friends are next.

Family....this includes our parents' personality, their education, our family financial status , how our brothers and sisters treated us, or weather we are the only child, the place we lived. All of these shaped us at the time when we were most vulnerable to being shaped. That's around the age of 2 - 12 year old

Friends....peer presure takes place when we start schooling. That's where we start to meet the outside world. If our family bonding and our family teachings were not strong, good or bad a person we become...oh well, we know very well we are who we are...

This world's not fair...it never is...it never was. It's full of lies, and we always believe in all or most of them. But since we are placed in this world...we should embrace it. Bitter or sweet.

A short 'n sweet entry. I've read all your entries when I stumbled upon it yesterday. It's very thought provoking and inspiring. I admire your guts to live life to the fullest and envy your optimism and wittiness. Maybe it's because I hope to be like you more. Hope you will continue to write and will look forward to read your entry. Nice day!
