What was that moment for you when you realized, “Wow, my parents don’t have everything figured out either”?
I remember the moment I realized that my parents were just as lost as I sometimes felt. I was around 16 and overheard them having a conversation about their own worries and uncertainties about finances, relationships, and their future. They were discussing things like how they’d stretch the budget for the month and feeling overwhelmed with everyday responsibilities. It hit me then that they were navigating life without a clear manual, just like I was. I had always seen them as these figures that had everything figured out, but in that moment, I recognized that they were just doing their best, figuring it all out one day at a time. It made me feel a lot more connected to them and helped me understand that it’s okay not to have all the answers.
