When do you first see your parents as people?
Families have stories, traditions, expectations and sometimes difficult silences. Growing up often means seeing the people closest to you in a new way.
You can love your family and still want a different life. Both are true.
At home you fall back into old roles. Everyone does. Noticing it is already half the way out.
Your parents' questions are sometimes control and sometimes care. The same question can be both.
The people who know you first
Parents, siblings, grandparents, relatives and the people who become family. Stories about the ties that shape us and the changes that come with getting older.
Keeping what matters
Independence does not have to mean leaving everything behind. Sometimes growing up is learning what you want to carry forward.
One question for your parents or grandparents you have never asked. For example: what did you want to be at seventeen?
What does your family expect from you that nobody has ever said out loud?
Every family is a story still being written.
