we are like in an infine spectrum that varies on grades when we talk about people and that means that you ahve your own unique nuance, product of your ancestors, we could be proud of our family and love them and at the same time choose another path of lifestyle if we feel it just like that, to be proud of ourselves too
i liked your post, finding healthy habits is doing the opossite of what we're taugh all day long as a standard, it's great to read you on your path for healthness
Thanks adiwathrive! Loving the people you care about also means taking care of your own self too so you can live a meaningful life and to share more moments with them. I want to be strong and healthy til old age, so I wouldn't be an burden (emotional pain) to my future family. Emotionally (and financially), it's hard to see someone's health is suffering, especially when it is the result of their vices. :)
