Apple Roll

Since I was very young, my parents have done just about everything together.

Eat, work, sleep, holiday, rest, everything.

24-7, 365 days a year, year in, year out.

They have very few friends and the ones they do have they see together.

Their overwhelming connection to the outside world is through ‘family’ and they do this together too.

Hobbies they have none. Some interests, yes, but these mostly entail the passive consumption of content.

They are very nice people with many great values and free of common faults, but in this one dimension I have no intention or interest in following their example.

In short, I will maintain my strong sense of individuality, continue my strong interest in understanding and explaining the world around me, always have close friends and seek new ones, and I will not let any personal relationship suffocate these values.
