As a child. I was taught. To do as I was told. The always. Listen to those older than me. And not be. Obstinate or. Two verbally aggressive. Always respect my elders. And do. Whatever is necessary. To stay out of the way. In some ways, that was. A promising aspect of my life. But in other ways. It led to obedience. Without. Really taking into account what was going on. Such as? If someone was taking advantage of me. Or. Hurting me. I didn’t know the difference. Between being taken advantage of or. Doing as I was told to be a good girl. I was just. Doing blind obedience. In order to. Be pleasing and not be in the way. This led to a lot of. Unexpected abuse. Because I wanted to be. That. Good person and that obedient person who did not want to be. The one who was considered difficult. Even if it ended up hurting me in the end. I still. Wanted to make sure I did. What? Society would consider the right thing. Even when it seemed and felt like the wrong thing. At the end of the day. I learned a lot from the years experiences. Because. I now know blind obedience. Causes more harm than good. And it doesn’t help anyone. It just makes everyone involved miserable. So it’s always best to ask questions. Get involved in the process. And. When something doesn’t feel right. Stop it. Right then. No matter what. You can always rebound. You can’t go back. So these are the lessons that I have learned. Over time in life. And I’m glad that I’ve learned them
