My childhood and early years were great because, honestly, I was spoiled, big time. Don't get me wrong, my parents were great and I will be forever grateful. But since they did everything for me, it paved the way for a very challenging adult life. I compare it to a child star. Their people, my parents took care of everything. They fed me, cleaned up after me, and even picked out my clothes. One could argue at some point you would have to break out on your own and form your own opinions and independence. I challenge why would you want to or have to? Your every needs were served on a silver platter. I would guess most people would ride this lifestyle for as long as possible. Thankfully I didn't crash and burn like most child stars, but I did have a lot of issues in my head. I was catered to all my life, but as the first (Asian) born son, I also carried the burden of bringing honor to my family. Unfortunately, I almost had none of the skills necessary to bring this to fruition.
