Mein Faja
As we get older those of us with insight understand more and more the adage “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” There are some individuals who are easy to read at base level, who are uncomplicated or even candid about their life. Then there are the ones who are protective of their personal history, people who are challenging to read, and individuals whose life span story would surprise you in regard to the way they present themselves. What I have learned thus far is that you can learn a lot about a person and understand their modus operandi if you can hear the story of their life. Everything within nature and nurture, birth order, family dynamic, parenting styles, home life, traumas, tribulations, genetics and an endless list of factors shape us in small and profound ways. Understanding how all of these things created the blueprint for my personality and habits has been a slow but incredibly fascinating journey. Being able to identify the roots of behaviors has been pivotal in undoing the problematic ones and being thankful for the ones that carried me through.
