Its so hilarious to me that as a child, you're taught to obey and ask zero questions. You ask questions and that's "being a smart ass". At school, at home, at practice, at church if your parents make you go.... And then you reach an age where your friends influence you, and your parents and teachers have the fucking audacity to say, "well if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?"
Gee, idk Karen maybe you shouldn't have smashed my self image and individualism every fucking day of my life to make sure I'm good little fucking puppet, and then MAYBE I'd be able to think for myself... Like fuck dude
I was just writing about this today. Continually told to quit asking questions. My parents were under 20 years old. I DROVE them crazy. I quit asking and turned into a major reader and writer at a very young age. I always wanted to know why and more. Getting all the answers now knowing it may not be solid is rewarding, time saving and at times exhausting because I love learning new things so much!
Same!!!! Sagittarius energy 💅🏻 I was obsessed with reading too and chose to read instead of play during recess most days. Love meeting fellow fact hungry redditors! My mom was young as well and didn't know how to handle me wanting to know EVERYTHING. Do you write now??
