Blood Is Thicker Then Water
I been getting requests to start blogging more often and I just want to say that I am very thankful and appreciative that people actually care to read my posts. Thank you so much because it means a lot to me that someone actually takes in the things I've learned over the years and tell me that they are really inspiring or interesting to read. I been really busy with work and becoming more proactive with my career and goals that I haven't made much time to sit down and blog more. I really do like blogging and I don't write these things because I feel that I'm wise or better then people but I do it because it allows me to expose things that I've learned and try to help people who have grown up in a similar lifestyle as me and don't have the luxuries of someone to provide proper advice and guidance to push them down the right direction.
This post isn't a very knowledgeable post but I hope it will give anyone who doesn't already know this more insight on something that is also important. Family.. A lot of us I'm sure have grown up in a dysfunctional family like mines or with a lot of family problems and conflicts. I notice that a lot of my friends don't appreciate their family or give them the proper attention they deserve. Don't get me wrong, I tend to forget as well and do the same a lot of times. I've changed more and more everyday as I started to realize that my parents, my siblings are the most important thing in the world even if we don't always get along. Now obviously everyone's family is different and this can't apply to everyone because some may be worse and some maybe better then the average family.
However this does apply to most families out there...
Who is there for you when you are in need of help? Who gives you money when you are in need of it? Who comes to bail you out no matter what your location is? Who gives you a place to live when you have nowhere else to go? Who feeds you when you are hungry and have no food? Who comes to save you no matter the situation?
If you have friends that can do that for you.. you should treat them like family because family are usually the only ones, no matter what.. even after an argument or conflict.. will always come to your aid. The worse part is we never treat our family as good as we treat people who would never even do those things for us. We take our family for granted and mostly... our parents. I notice a lot of us and even myself at times take our parents for granted.
Its true that our parents constantly nag and bitch at us over things and it annoys that crap out of us but at the end of the day when you really think about it.. it's only for the best.. They just want to see us become successful and good. Is it not true that it said "You will never know what true love is until you have kids". If so then why do we not feel the same love towards our parents?
I always see children talking to their parents with such negative attitude and always just trying to push them away all the time... so much that it becomes a habit that we never want our parents around or even speak to us... Did you ever stop to think how much it would hurt you if your children showed negativity towards you and replied in such a negative tone every time you ask a question or even want to talk to them?
I can assure that most parents don't have much friends, and they spend most of their days either working, cooking, cleaning and taking care of their children. They don't have the luxuries like us to go out and party and enjoy life anymore because of their responsibilities. They give us the freedom to enjoy life as much as we can because they really can't do much anymore. It makes them happy to see their children succeed and be happy in life. And yet we can't even just take a few minutes out of our day to sit down and talk to them and try to see how their day is going or even do anything to make them smile?
Try going home today and speaking to your parents in a positive tone... ask them how their day was... tell them that your so thankful for all the things they've done for you and that you love them more then anything in the world.. Take them out to a movie or a simple dinner.. See how much joy you could bring to their life with something so simple as spending time with them.. Because they deserve it and they would love to enjoy a day with their children and be happy..
Give your parents the love they deserve and I guarantee it will also make you emotionally positive inside. These are little things we never stop to consider but it's the little things that count.. Instead of going out to party with friends that don't even come to your rescue when your in need.. take some time out and put it towards someone who deserves it.. before its too late.. like when ashes turn to dust.. and all you have left is regret that you didnt give them the love they deserved when you had the chance.. Be there for them when it counts the most.. Now.
