How Did You Grow Up?

Hi and welcome to another episode of TLBC! Today we are talking about growing up. We talk about the areas we grew up in, family relationships, and how our lives have manifested to what it is today. Between us, we have vastly different experiences growing up. White suburbia vs small town rural. Sibling vs only-child. Married parents vs divorced parents. Let's also not forget cultural differences. Regardless, two worlds meet and become best friends :) We talk about hardships and the differences we faced in two very different settings growing up, how our home setting affected our lives positively and negatively. We are both grateful to have had these experiences growing up and recognize how it affects our adult life and how to want to shape our adult lives; how many kids to have, do we want to get married, how to care for aging parents, and what roles we expect from our partners in mature relationships. Lets remember that we are still growing up. We are still reaching the age where we are looking into buying homes, seeing friends get married and start families, and settling into our careers. We are reaching 30 and STILL figuring all this out! I can remember younger me thinking 30 was old and I would have it figured out. Boy, were we wrong! It's incredible how generations change right before our eyes, and how the expectations differ from, say, our parents vs us today.

Don't forget that life is all about learning and continuously growing!
