Foundation
As with many people, their lives have many ups and downs, moments of great joy and of great sorrow. I am positive I can relate to many people in this sense of life, but the things that make people different are how we handle these metaphorical hills. However, what determines how you handle these twists and turns? Some would argue it is a person’s spirit or aura, others would say it is a deep personal choice. Although, I hold the belief that who you are, emotionally and psychologically, is laid like a cement foundation when you are in your earliest stages of life. In this stage, ones earliest memories develop. The worst trauma can occur, or the fondest memories can be formed. Now from this metaphoric foundation, waves permeate like that of an earthquake and effect ones mentality through out their whole lifetime. These waves, I believe, can cause someone to be an introvert, or an extrovert. You see, my theory behind this is that ones whole personality can be determined in a second. If it’s not by their first memories, then it’s by their first memorable experience. Whether that experience is a pony ride, (which is likely to result in a kind, animal-loving person) or being bitten by the family dog (very likely to result in someone without pets, and someone who hurts animals) every ones foundation is laid while they have their earliest experiences. There are several others that are likely to create someone who has strong mental trauma like parents arguing in front of their children, child abuse, being bullied (all things several children go through all at the same time, parents I would advise you to help avoid these things for your children’s sake).
Back to my point my personal mentality was laid when I was very young, in fact my first memory is of my parents hiding while I hid behind a sectional couch in our living room. Eventually my father left, he came around once in a while until I was four, after that point I did not see him for six years. This experience made me a strong person and now I can take a lot of mental stress. Although it left me with emotional scars now compare this event to one of my very close friends who has been sheltered their entire life. This particular friend is the happiest, most caring person you will ever meet.
So through out this long thought I have concluded, you are whom you are because of how you grew up and because of your earliest experiences. You are who you are, because of the foundation that was laid down for you to grow from …
