Personal Narrative-Intellectual Analysis

When I was nine years old, I looked through my parent’s bedrooms keyhole because I was curious about the weird noise coming out of there. What I saw didn’t shock me one bit due to growing up with two brothers and three sisters who had prepared me for situations like this. My parents are very sexual and most of my culture supports a liberal way of thinking. Therefore, my background, childhood, and where I grew up plays an important role in my sexual development, my views and believes. People have always told me my puberty started when I was three years of age. They described me as different, just because I had a unique view of things. In kindergarten, my teacher noticed me flirting with guys and when I was alone I started playing with myself
Actually, it’s not even sex. It’s being close to somebody, feeling that persons love, and knowing you are not alone. In my opinion, it’s the best medication against depression, loneliness, and sadness. Even so I slept with people I haven’t been in a relationship with, I don’t appreciate it as much. Waking up next to the person who means the world to me is different from waking up next to a stranger or somebody you don’t know as well. My relationships always lasted long and I even got married last summer. Up from the beginning, I knew it wouldn’t work out but sometimes people do crazy things because it feels right at the moment. Two months ago I decided to move out and live my own life again. Before my mother found my dad twenty years ago, she had a lot of different partners, just to find the right one. She is very wise and extraordinary smart, so I don’t judge her, no, I admire her. My grandparents have been together since 55 years and after my grandpa cheated on my grandma, they could never be happy again. I support divorces, gay people, and trying different things to find out who you are and what you want. Most of the time I just listen to my heart and go the way I think would make me the happiest. If I took the wrong path, I try another one. I know that one day my journey will be ended and I’ll find total satisfaction, but I’m young and I don’t pressure myself. Having a family is important to me, but I’m not ready yet. Maybe in ten years, when I’m done with school and I have found the right person. Being a therapist is my highest goal and I need excitement in my life; settling down is not an option yet. Recently, I’ve been dating somebody very similar to me. Hopefully it’s the right way, but you never know. Listen to you heart! Just like the German culture taught
