I Am the Black Sheep of the Family

baaaaaaas!

I don't share the same interests as my family members . I don't care about "things and possessions " . I don't care what kind of house ,car or brand names of clothes you have . I don't care if you walk around in sweat pants and old t shirt all day . I don't care how your hair looks . I don't keep up with the joneses. I don't care about extravagance or pomp and circumstance . I can't stand phoney people . I don't care about your " status " at your job or in life in general . I don't care that you feel the need to have a million and one plans to feel important . I don't care about how you feel the need to live through your children in order for them to live up to some silly expectation that you have of them . They are kids not mini versions of you . Kids are individuals who deserve to figure out who they are without being pushed into certain things . ...I do care about kindness ,compassion , genuine people . People who are inherently good at heart . I have B.S radar built in me... My family is full of b.s ...they only care about how they look to others . They are shallow with no substance and this makes me sad :( ...it is what it is ...I have to accept this . I'm nothing like them . I'm totally the opposite . They like to remind me of this ...it breaks my heart 💔 but again I accept it for what it is . I've spent a long time trying to build myself back up without their help . My self esteem , my confidence , everything to do with how I see myself ...I've had to do this for me ...it's hard but it makes me a stronger person at the end of the day . I will always keep trying no matter how crappy I feel about things ...I know the seed was planted but I'm responsible for disgarding the roots .... So, please be kind and mindful to your family because you don't know how it will effect them in life . Just saying ....
