I was raised by very strict parents.... Who daily reminded me with an education and true belief in oneself ,, you can go far in life...

To respect the ground my feet rest upon and all will be as it should.

That failure is a part of life and with deep compassion in achieving my goal ,,,, I shall achieve it,

Respect is a very powerful word ..... Learn it and you will thrive
Love thyself first and love will fill your soul....

Love, laugh and live life to the fullest...

I was raised in a loving home. Good manners, good morals, respect and kindness.

I am a nurterer and have a lot of patience and compassion.
Absolutely a lover, not a fighter. Unfortunately, I WAS somewhat of a doormat. I know I won't fall into that again. I have always been strong for everybody, except myself, am changing that also.

I know I am a good person, have a good sense of humor and a passionate nature. :smile:

Let's see I was raised in a home where we didn't have much (including running water at times) but we didn't complain. We were taught to be thankful what we did have, don't take what you want instead find a way to earn it, trust and love are the ultimate gifts, and if someone hits you, you best hit back harder (literally). All in all I like to think I turned out to be a good person. My mom took in kids who had no where to go even when we had no room for them so we were a pretty big and diversed family. So I am very open minded and I help people when they need it (giving them a hand up instead of a hand out). I believe we all make mistakes and at times wish we could change the past but the past is what makes us we are even if our past has a few blemishes. It's not everyday a guy wants to know that his gf used to get paid to fight others so she could help out her mom lol. I have two kids and everyday I hope that I am raising them the best of my ability because I don't expect them to be perfect. :smile:

Who am I? . . . I'm still discovering myself. I was raised with a lot of mixed messages.
I have been a push over but have learned to its ok to say no and to make choices that make me happy not everyone else.I've learned to own my choices good and bad. I'm sweet and kind. I don't belittle or judge people because I don't like it being done to me. I love passionately and value my friends and family.

Hmmm,
I was raised to think that I would be loved by everyone.
To think that I could accomplish anything and that the world would move for me.
i was raised thinking that i was special and that there would always be someone there to help me.

I had to learn that sometimes you have to do things by yourself,
That everything i want doesnt always happen, but that it's cool anyway.

I don't know how a Melmacian upbringing compares to a human upbringing.



On Melmac, whenever a child had a birthday, people sent sympathy cards to the child's parents. Whenever it was my birthday, sympathy cards to my parents were sent via bulk rate.

I was the family mold breaker. They would tell you that I happened more than I was raised.

Well, I'm quite an animal lover. I like to laugh at most things in life. Might aswell have a sense of humor about it, otherwise you'll cry. That's my crazy way of getting through life. drinker. While i have a big heart, if you mess me around once, you're forgiven, but TWICE is an absolute no- no.

A favourite poet of mine once said....

They fark you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were farkt up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

By the very controversial Phillip Larkin (love that man)

Me??...i was pretty much left to my own devices to navigate my way around this big ole rock of ours, so ima laaava but a worrier when need be :)

I was bought up by coyotes. They found me when i was 12 and 'educated' me. I still howl at the moon and crave roadkill. Seriously some stuff people still cant talk about, me!

I was raised to work for what you want, treat people the way you want to be treated, my parents always supported me in whatever I did, give more than you get. My parents helped me on a few occasions when I was down and out, and I always try to help those in need whenever I can. I'm a lover, not a fighter but I will fight for what I believe. I will stand my ground on what I believe to be true (not opinions or views) until I am proven wrong, then I will concede gracefully.
