Don't Be Too Strict Or You'll Lose Them.

In your existence have you ever experienced this kind of measurements of our parents in being so strict to us when we were kids. A lot of kids has experienced this one including me wherein I've been locked out in our home after school and during the weekends. My childhood was not that happy just like the childhood of free kids now wherein they can do what they want. It's just so sad that I experienced those kind of strictness from my parents. I can't forget those feelings I had before. Crying so hard, begging to my mom to let me out in order to play with the other kids outside. Just remembering those days makes my heart to sting a little.

Being strict has been part of our parents routine in making us safe and to make our life a better one in their view but it seems that they didn't know that doing this kind of measurements to their kids have so many disadvantages also. But we can't blame them for being like that because maybe they are just scared how uncertain life is especially in the outside world. Anything can happen to us and anytime they may lose us. Maybe that's one of the reason why they are doing this kind of thing.

I know that many kids out there are very naugthy or maybe you're one of them before wherein you'll break the rules of your parent's strictness just to play outside and have fun. Ohh memories are keep coming back to me now as I write this part of my article. To be honest I'm one in those kids but I'm just a little naugthy back then and not that very bad one. Behaving like that made me to suffer the consequences in the end haha. Let's talk about the several things where my parents and granparents are strict to.

Strictness in afternoon nap.

Back in the old days, this thing will never be in the out in the routine of my guardians and I still remember clearly as the blue sky wherein my grandmother used to put a stick, a bamboo to be precise beside me when I take a nap in the afternoon. They said that we should sleep in the afternoon before in order for us to grow tall and it seems it was effective lol. When I don't take a nap before, she always said that a kumaw will get me and collect my internal organs then they will sell it. So as a kid back then I believe it and took a nap every afternoon.

But boredome visited me so being a kid, my temper can't hold on. So sometimes when I take a nap before, I only sleep for about 2 minutes making my grandma to believe that I'm in deep sleep already but she didn't know that I'm just faking it. She will then go to the cr and that's when I will do the ninja move haha. I will vanish just like a buble. I did that once and I suffered hell for real haha.

If you know the monggo in a bilao then you will kneel. I experienced that one. I hurts so much in my knee and since then I never tried to scape like a ninja anymore. Now that I'm a grown up already, taking a nap has been my buddy haha. I really like to do it especially if I have free time. I do it in school back then after I eat my lunch. I was asleep while my classmates were busy with their phones or talking to each other.

Strictness when it comes to lovelife.

My family back then used to say to me that I should study first before entering into a relationship. I followed what they want and now that I'm old enough, this is the time wherein I lose the interest in having a relationship lol. But my family now is insisting repeatedly that it's time for me to find someone to marry and have kids haha. Our worlds just turned upside down. I know that a lot of youths out there can relate to this one.

Books and reviewers has been my girlfriend in my teens back then haha and my medals are my babies. That's the kind of relationship I'm in before but now that I stop studying for the mean time, they want me do what they want haha. Everytime they said that to me I always throw back the things they said to me before and we laugh.

Well it's not that late to enter into a relationship after I achieve all of my goals right. So if you don't have one now, always remind yourself that it's ok to be single. This one is related to my topic yesterday about being late.

Author's note

My family became so strict with me back then but that's because it's for my own good. My mother's actions before made me to be introvert who don't want to interact to other people outside my room. But since I studied in town for highschool, I broke from my prison and became a semi introvert wherein I'm not afraid anymore to interact to my fellow humans. Well there's a great lesson I learned from this one and that is being alone is not that bad because when I'm alone in my room now, I feel the peace. I didn't go astray because of this because I understand it and accepted it.

Our family may resort to some strict measurement for us to lead in a right way so please bear in your mind that it's for your own good. But they should put shackles in our neck so that we will not turn our back against them.

That's only for today and thank you for reading.
