Freewrite 2
I can't remeber the last time I was truly sad or happy. I'm not really all that emotional. I can remember a few times during childgood where I was happy. The time I learned to ride a bike, which I didn't learn until I was nine. My parents have always been really protective of me. My dad didn't want me to learn to ride a bike for forever even with all my pleading and begging for him to teach me. I finally decided I would teach myself, and I did just that. Most of my parents protection has worked out differently than they had planned. Instead of me being always guarded and made me more independent. My parents taught me to grow and be my own person from a very young age. They never pushed anything on me, but in a way I wish they had. My parents always seemed like they didn't care what I would do.My friends thought I was lucky because I could pretty much do whatever I wante when I wanted to do it. Though maybe it's a good thing that my parents never gave me limits. They never pushed me with school work of anything like that. Which taught me to find the drive within myself. My parents never told me I could only go so far there was no limit whatsoever. So in the end it taught me to be whoever and do whatever I wanted to do. They gave me no expectations from them, but maybe thats so I would give the expectation in myself. They taught me to rely on myself, which might be the greatest lesson I have learned. They never told me I couldn't do anything, which I used to think was because they didn't care, but maybe it was because they wanted me to have no limits and to never doubt what I could do.
