For anyone who had loving parents..

I learned how to be compassionate to my younger siblings as I am the oldest and that compassion evolved beyond what my culture offers for example it's the normal here to be homophobic for example but I broke down that barrier and to some I am a traitor etc. I guess when my mom told me to be nice to people I took it literally.

I might have gotten off topic but the key word is compassion.

I’m a very calm and patient person as a result. Also very forgiving, and to a fault. I was always taught to find the best in people and never to hold a grudge and that people might make mistakes but they can change. I’ve learned that that last part is not true with everyone

I don't know that having loving parents has anything to do with a calm environment😆

There were always snafus and catastrophes,like the time the dog jumped up on the table and stole a full HAM with dinner guests ETA one hour..could we wash it off and serve it anyway?

Chinese take out for all!🥩
Maybe some were more serious but we always got through ,eventually laughing at it.

As Joni Mitchell sang we can't return we can only look around from where we came..good look on your journey...laughter makes thing easier in the present

I definitely don't qualify as I grew up in hell but I try to show other people the empathy and support I wish I had.

We found toxicity in other places don’t worry..
