If I could change anything about how I was raised, it would be to have more open conversations about emotions and mental health. Growing up, discussions around feelings were often brushed aside, leading to a lack of understanding about the importance of emotional well-being. By fostering an environment where expressing emotions was encouraged, I believe I would have developed better coping mechanisms and a stronger sense of self-awareness. Additionally, having access to resources and guidance on mental health could have helped me navigate challenges more effectively. This change could have not only benefited my personal growth but also strengthened my relationships with family and friends. Ultimately, a more emotionally supportive upbringing would have equipped me with valuable tools for resilience and empathy.
