Embracing Unconventional Ideas

I was born in a upper class family in the late 80s that seemed quite normal from the outside. My family was the envy of many others. My two older siblings and I went to private schools and seemed to be quite normal. This was all a facade, however. Just like most childhoods, mine was filled with trauma that isn’t so obvious to outsiders.

This trauma primarily consisted of emotional abuse, most significantly neglect. Because of this, my personality became stunted. I was deficient in guidance and love that was denied to me by my self-absorbed parents who themselves had been stunted by their own parents. My siblings were also abused but in different ways. We all had our family roles, and mine was to be invisible and not cause trouble.

Most of my childhood was spent alone, which reduced the amount of conditioning I received. This solitude and lack of influence from my parents made me open-minded, but awkward. I never lost my spirit to question things.

This blog is my way of sharing what I have learned and continue to learn in order to improve the lives of others.
