I went through a really hard transition. I think it was when my mother slapped me across the face and my brother said to me I was my father's doormat and now my mother's. Well I was always the obedient child with the highest grades. I had no idea my closest sibling perceived me that way and I think a switch kind of flipped up. I got tattooed, pierced about 9 times and was a smoker. I was as rebellious as they came, I'm not going into details of my kick assery, LOL. But yea...that girl kinda scares me. Kind of like Lisbeth from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, love that movie. As I got older, I let go of a lot of anger I realized I had. I realized I had to discipline my mind and body to become a better person, I just didn't like myself though my actions circumvented my individuality and breaking free of expectations in a very , very conservative household and upbringing. And then my entire mantra about life became about helping others, becoming a better person and being someone that would honor both of my parents who were independently accomplished individuals, leaders with enormous amounts of strength. The patriach and matriach and most respected of their siblings as well as the oldest. My father especially was just fucking amazing to me, he's one of those unsung heroes of the world. Now I try to govern my emotions and desires as best I can and train my thoughts with as much learning as possible. I focus on just being the best possible version of myself I can be. I dislike weakness in myself greatly and ergo sum, LOL. Humility is still one of my biggest challenges as well as patience but thankfully I recognize that.
