I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.
My upbringing was solid because of the people I had around me.
From a certain age, I sort of accepted myself for what I was. And although to other people it was like nothing ever goes right, I had a really nice attitude that I'd inherited from my parents, and especially from my dad.
The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.
I had a very modest upbringing.
I don't deny that I had a very privileged upbringing, but my parents and that town maintained a sense of normalcy that I think many people find hard to achieve, and I am so grateful for that.
I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
I really did have a very egalitarian upbringing.
Growing up, I just wanted to be like everyone else. I didn't value or understand the beauty in being different at the time in my life.
I had a very difficult upbringing.
