While growing up we have alot of things we had in mind to achieve as a child, there are place we wish we had the opportunity or be there, this is to the extent of choosing a kind of family we wish we are born into, most at times we imagine and think about it as a kind we are. Many of us may have their different story to tell when it get to things we missed as kind, science has it that when you miss a particular behavior or attitude you are tend to exhibiting them when you grow and become an adult, but then most of the things we wish we had and we ended up not having them may influence our adults life positively or negatively.
During my childhood growing up under the watch of restriction I was unable to meet or do something like my other mates. I'm mother being a Nurses we are not allowed to go out and mix with other, what will do is every morning we woke up, do our morning devotion, take our bath do our morning routine activity and eat leave for school during Monday to Friday and after school we will return home, straight inside then our house keeper will just lock the general gate we Will continue with our homework after eating and then play games inside, see movies sleep, this routine continue till I finished primary school. I thought it will stop immediately after primary school, then come and see restriction during secondary school time. This made me I had no close friends during my primary school days, because they may know my house but can't come into our house and I can't visit any one, as a matter of that I'm being monitored in school then my way about, thing's I do at the moment. And me being a type of person that prefer you speak to me to correct me that shouting at me, this made me I always stay on my lane and also in class to an extent they always come looking for me if I'm really okay.
During secondary school I happens to be one of the brilliant student then, I'm not sure for now lols. After series of exams, a competition came up and when I inform my parents they told me I should leave the Participation if the competition I felt bad and let it go. I can also remember that while growing up I want to stay with my grandma and my uncle was around at that moment, when he ask me to get something for him outside I'm being timed to return hehe that to show you how restrict it was. I kept growing up that way and never association with my colleagues and never had friends. And this have actually influence my life in a positive and negative way also. But then the positive aspects of it is much that the negative part.

Freedom is one thing I wish I had as a child while growing up but then restriction takes over my wish, and have influence my adults life, negatively I don't have friends or group that I role with, in conclusion that made me an introvert without a litter Chance. I'm also too quite for my own liking. But except from that, that restriction help me Alot as an adult,one I don't know what being hurt by friends look like because I don't give room for that, I'm also out of problems because you hardly see me outside talk more of involving in some of trash. That doesn't mean I have no friends, I have my close friends, that life as a kind made me understand the important of self care and self peace, it is funny how many people within me want to become like me, but when Ever I detail them the process they always shout and say no. But that is discipline.

Well. As long as you enjoyed the outcomes and not feel like you were robbed, then it was a beautiful experience. 🤍
Yea I Really like the outcome but then every gain has lost.
Growing up under strict parents or guardian is something many of us suffered.
Yea that's true
