I Took The What Do You Need Most Test
To be happy in life, I need to feel as secure and grounded as possible.
I have to know that things will be okay no matter what. I plan for the worst.
I tend to be cautious, and I always think of the long term consequences before I act.
Living a low-key, responsible life is the only way to ensure that I can truly relax.
This is me to a tee. This is my philosophy in life as only I see it, I suppose. When I was growing up, my life was far from secure and grounded. We moved around from place to place, I remembered a time when my daddy was unemployed and we were living with my maternal grandma who never seemed to want to treat us like her grandkids or at least not like we were even related to her. After that, we moved to my paternal grandma's one-bedroom house that she once occupied before she became gravely ill and moved in with her sister. My ten siblings, myself included and both my parents moved into that small run-down house whenever we weren't financially stable. I found myself liking the house because of how much it made us closer but I hated the way the neighbors saw us and what their opinions were of us. No one knew that my daddy was constantly doing temporary work, no one knew how much they struggled to feed & clothe us, and how much we were teased at school.
Anyway, since I barely had the feeling of being 'secure' and 'grounded' when as a child, it's what I crave now. I crave it to hold on to it because it hasn't been easy especially for my husband and I. Life after Hurricane Katrina hasn't been easy for he and I either. Before Katrina, we were doing alright. His dad was a renter of a shotgun house which he let my husband take over the payments after he and his late wife moved out of, my husband was a new employee for Zatarain's rice and foods, and he had allowed his brother and wife to live in the second bedroom as well. After Katrina, we were displaced in Baton Rouge and in Houston for months to years.
No one understands that I want to be stable and keep them that way for as long as I can. Security and stability isn't high on anyone's priority list anymore and it doesn't matter how old you are. I know so many people that have their priorities all distorted and they're damn near 70 years old or even moreso young adults my age never think about this although I don't think they should be thinking about this since according to society, they are supposed to be wilding out at parties and in college, placing the foundation for their future.
I like to plan for everything in my life because I can't stand bad surprises. I don't like to see everybody around me moping around and being stuck in that mode. I like to avoid them by being cautious and think of the long-term consequences. My husband always says this life isn't to be comfortable and I agree for reasons I won't get to here but it's true. I just want peace of mind because I plan to be here a long time so I at least owe it to myself to have what I want.
