Life out loud!

Being born and raised in a nuclear family, I never had the chance to be loud. Now I'm defining it's a 'chance' but a few years ago I probably would say the opposite. I hate being loud, I never liked to be around loud people.

But guess what? When I became close to a loud family I noticed a major difference. And that is, how they approach life.

Let me explain a little bit more.

My in-laws are very loud in general. They live in a huge household, almost 26 people live on the same premise in different households. After my marriage, I find it pretty difficult to adjust to this. But now I can proudly say that I love it more than how I have lived before.

As I have said, I noticed how their approach to life is different. I have seen a very different approach in my parent's house. During any family events or any problematic situation, there was no room for venting or winding out. I have always felt the pressure and stress to deal with it. On the other hand, people who live out loud, they got broader options to wind out. They can talk about their problems more easily, they can share more, and spread happiness more.

Moreover, they are more connected to life, to society, with relatives, more belongingness, and bonding with family. Yes, there are some negative sides to this, I have seen some quarrels and all. But I found that it's better to fight rather keeping it personal and feel the stress alone.

But this is only my personal opinion and understanding, you may have a different view on this.

"Oh, it feels like home no matter where we are together
Wish we'd always known the bigger crowd was always better
We wouldn't change a thing about it now
Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!)
Life is better loud (In the Loud House! In the Loud House!)
Loud House!"

This truly expresses how I feel inside.

I'm still not loud but I adjusted. I can't laugh out loud but I love who does. I don't vent to others often but I appreciate those who can.

Living out loud means you are more connected to life for sure. It means you are missing out less, it means you are open to accepting. A loud life is far better than dealing with life alone.

If you are from a loud house and hate it, then see things differently. You never know what's on the other side and you should feel blessed about it. As I have seen both sides of the coin, I can say it safely; it's a blessing to have a loud family.
