Reborn I

I put myself through living with my parents in the past year before they completely immigrate back to Taiwan. I wanted to understand where I came from. What I have seen with my new eyes opened myself to even more understanding. I don’t suggest this to anybody else who’ve been a free man since he turned 18, as doing so might permanently damage and change you. I did it because I knew of their decision to re-patriatriate so if there’s any damage done to my personality, it won’t be as bad.

I’ve always wondered about the nature/nurture debate and hold somewhat of a weird view about molding my own character like Sean-Connery did to himself. Now I can better appreciate the act of purposely building who I want to be without any of the formerly distaste at the person that will be build. This Christmas will be a time for reminiscence at the past through a new found lens. I can now understand the person that I was when I first entered the world and all the interactions that happened because I am more in tune with both the western and the asian culture.

There will be a lot of time for that in the coming holidays.
