Hello everyone sending down my pleasantries from this side, it's so lovely to partake in this week contest and for this week or for today I would be taking the topic of root, my background actually and I hope those root would be of help to everyone reading this.
So an incident happened that was when I was much younger but I would like to share it to give insight on any other thing I would be sharing. Somebody once invited me to come for an event which was scheduled to take place around 7pm or there about ranking in the night, so I told the person that it was not going to be possible because I don't come out in the night so this person in question was curious and asked further if I was actually lying or I was been serious and I was like would I be lying with such a thing.
So this person asked further why I don't come out by that time and I said we don't go out once it's 6pm except grounds where it's on errands, vigil or we would be going out of the house in peers to somewhere important, that's was the rule we were raised up in because according to my parent it's quiet dangerous out there and as a female it made the restrictions double, so subconsciously I grew up with that mentality of not keeping late nights, so this person told me that it's because I was my parent were that strict that's why I was still preserved in most things I do.
FAMILY VALUES
When I was growing up I saw what my parents was doing mostly especially my mom as doing too much or being wicked towards me because they were too strict, I didn't even keep male friends except family friends in church who had a boy my age, I wasn't allowed to go and visit people in their houses except they know the person very well and I have a concrete reason for wanting to go there and it's not always am granted permission, male visited hardly visit me in my father's house, I mean I saw my friends in the area live a free life they were not monitored they way I was their parents were either too busy to care or perhaps raised their children differently.
And then in the aspects of prayers, I grew up seeing my parents pray in the midnight and it reached a certain time when my mom used to wake us around 4am to pray personally in our rooms before general morning devotions that we do collectively so that system was what made me conscious of the fact that I can not step out into a new day without communion with My Father (God) and it has been a wonderful experience so far.
PROCESS OF MOLDING
Although at first I saw it as wickedness but growing up i took pride in who I was because I saw differences between me and people around, the coverage I got was treasured, I saw those restrictions, those confrontation, those questions, as love. I was been influenced by my background in such a way that I was not loosed around like that, even when I left home I was determined to preserve myself, build up myself and not depend on other people.
In many other values, beliefs and things that made up my identity I just dwell on this one and am hoping another opportunity would present itself that would make me talk on more, in summary I would like to say that if I was given a second opportunity to be reborn I would choose been born in my family over and over again.
Thanks so much for reading through with me, I still remain your best girl @graceze.
