I Want to Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
“I’ll tell you something, I think you’ll understand…”
Lets play a game.
The FIRST power you get is the power you have in a zombie apocalypse.
Reblog and add your power, how does it help you survive?
“Enhanced Chakram Skill: the ability to possess great skill in wielding chakrams. A variation of Weapon Proficiency.”
So I get to be a Xena/TRON combination? Deal.
“Angel Soul: the ability to have the soul of an Angel.”
Empathy, Invulnerability, Physical Godhood - would be nice to have gotten some powers I didn’t already have, but what’s a frog to do? I suppose I’ll take it.
Childhood movies taught me the most important thing of all: parents aren’t always right and they don’t always know what’s best for you.
look how many notes this thing has
Which doesn’t mean that you should brush off everything your parents say which you don’t agree with as unimportant or ‘not what [you] need right now’, I should like to add, because that’s a load of bollocks which has unfortunately become a trend.
Parents (almost) universally want what’s best for their children - because that’s what love is. However, they don’t always know what’s best - because that’s what being human is. Of course, the same goes for children; neither position comes with a manual that explains what’s actually best, so we’re all just left to guess and hope we guess right. Occasionally that means we’re going to disagree.
What we all need to realise (and this applies to more than just parenting) is that a difference of opinion is not an obstacle or a threat, but an opportunity - if we always agreed with each other we’d never learn anything new, and by talking through our disagreements we all stand to learn something. I know it seems clichéd to say parents and children need to talk more, but communication really is the most powerful tool that human beings have access to, and it’s a pity that we’re often so reluctant to use it. Parenting (and growing up, for that matter) certainly isn’t easy, and if you’ve got access to a tool like that you really ought to be using it…
