Realizations: Family

Hello everybody, so in my spare time I do some writing, particularly philosophy. So in these realization posts I am just going to share some of my personal realizations that I have had in life. Most of these have helped me out a lot so I want to share them in the hopes that they can reach and help others.

So first a little background on me so you can understand this particular realization. I didn't have much of a family growing up. My dad left quite early on so i don't even remember him (although I did meet him much later on in life). And my mother was very young and not ready to have a child so we struggled a lot. I will just leave it at that and not bore you with too much details. But this is just to give you a perspective on how this realization came about.

So before you are born did you get a chance to analyze and pick out your parents? I don't know about you guys but I don't remember having that chance. You are seemingly just all of a sudden thrown into the world of physical reality with out much say. Maybe your parents will care for you or maybe they won't. The understanding and accepting of you not being able to control who your parents are is great one. But you can control who your friends are and the connections that you make with people. So the lesson is don't worry about the things that you have no control over, accept them and they will no longer have a burden on you. Even the things that you do have control over don't worry just do what you can do and keep on moving. The things that burden people the most in life are the things that are out of your control.

I hope that can help some people out and bring light to your situations whether they are family related or not. Peace
