Have you ever been disappointed or surprised by someone you know for so long that you thought you knew everything about them and they could never show you something unexpected?
Well, I guess, we all do this on a daily basis. Even without knowing it.
Especially with our parents.
We think we know exactly who they are but mostly we only see them as our parents.
We forget they are women and men who have their own dreams, desires and ambitions as any other person.
We forget that they have not given up their life to raise us, they chose to add us to their life and yes, they do try do make their best to allows us a good future, but they are still their own person who is still trying to figure out what comes next.
I guess that's why some times we don't see them as humans and we get disappointed because they have flaws like everyone else and are not the super heroes we always thought.
And we get surprised to find out they also know how to have fun with friends in the exact same way we do with our friends.
I once got disappointed with my parents because I was not expecting that reaction and I was upset for a while but at the same time that made me think about all this.
That happened a while ago but it was the trigger that made me see my parents as individuals who are more than my parents. And that was great.
Nowadays, I still get surprised and I believe that won't stop happening because I know them better now more than I ever thought and it is still something that I want to keep happening. Not just with them but with everyone I love.
Too deep?
Well, we need to value our loved ones as much as we can because one day will be too late.
Have a great weekend!
