07.23.17: culture conflict

Currently, I have evolved into a book worm.

Despite, the forced reading a few months ago. This time it just naturally occurred, one day from another, I picked up a book and enjoyed the whole thing.

It's quite pleasing to learn from another person's thoughts, especially when it's an extensive thought written in an unamusing format--- a book. 

A book titled Latinas in Love, that I had read not so long ago, gave me an insight on the idea of culture conflict. 

What is culture conflict? Why haven't I realized that the conflict of questioning my own moral virtues to fit into morals pushed by my family had an actual structure?

Not that I had never realized that this underlying issue of questioning my mother's moral value was abnormal. 

The idea of acknowledging of whether I was okay with what my family enforced is what confused me the most. 

Is it okay if some of the traditional roles or mind set that I had been exposed to growing up was something I wanted?

I'm sure other individuals that adapted to the innovative ways of sex, marriage, social norms, and such would oppose of some of the "old fart" morality.

I do agree with some traditional values passed by my family, and I have realized that I have been disregarding them because of the whole rebellion ideal individuals try to put on growing up. 

Yet, the rebellion visage I had going on for me, only brought me experiences which made me realize the personal dislikes I had over the innovative ways society thinks of certain morals.







Most of the experiences pertaining to relationships; romantic or familial.

It's great to learn about yourself, especially realizing your views on morality, either traditional or innovative, and what you seek in life. 

Life can get confusing, most of the time. Although, having some factors in your mind that reassure you of what goals you plan to achieve, helps a lot. 

i'm happy at the moment, and it's a feeling that is starting to blossom in my life.

It's quite cheesy to say but doing journal entries in a notebook (some pictured in this blog post), and meditating every day has helped me absorb the simplicity of things in life.
