What gives you direction in life?

When I face a tough decision or need direction, I first turn to my inner self. I’m no meditation guru or spiritual master, but after five decades of life, I’ve built a rich tapestry of experiencessome joyful, others painful. These memories serve as my guide, helping me navigate choices with clarity. Next, I consult my inner circle: my wife and son. Their perspectives often challenge my own, offering fresh angles I hadn’t considered. Do I always follow their advice? Not entirely. I cherry-pick what resonates, blending their insights with my own to craft a balanced decision. Living in a family means decisions ripple outward, affecting everyone. Compromise isn’t just a strategyit’s a necessity for harmony.

Family tradition

In my eyes, family is defined by my wife, my son, and me. Together, we’ve established a unique family tradition of mutual non-interference. Each of us treasures our hobbies and fiercely protects our “me” time. On the surface, this might seem like the typical dynamics of a nuclear familybut don’t be fooled. Beneath this structure lies a deep respect for one another’s opinions (yes, even when heated debates arise). And when life throws us a curveball? That’s when our real strength shines through. We rally together, unwavering and ready to support one another, no matter the challenge.

Who are your current most favorite people?

When asked who my favorite people are, the answer is simple: my wife and son. But before you picture us as the epitome of perfection, let me set the record straight. We are far from flawless. Our family, like any other, has its quirks and imperfections. I have been married for twenty-eight years, and I can’t recall a single day without a disagreement 😊 Conversations with my son, for instance, eerily mirror the ones I had with my own father. It is like history repeating itself in its peculiar way. And yet, despite the rough edges, we’re a package deala combo offer that sticks together no matter what. We have each other’s backs, always. Scratch the surface on any topic, and you’ll find our core values and reactions strikingly aligned. We’re a simple bunch, content in our little bubble, happy to be left alone. And while we may not fit… Who are your current most favorite people?
