Is your favorite subject history?
Do you have more brothers than sisters?
Do you dream of moving somewhere out there, far from the community you affiliate with?
Are you closer to your father than to your mother?
Do your children love meatballs and spaghetti?

Wow! If you are of chassidish background, how did you learn to read in Hebrew (ETA as opposed to Lashon Hakodesh. I'm assuming you mean books here, not just Tefillah...)?
(I learned to read Hebrew books with the encouragement of my Israeli roommate in seminary. I should've paid more attention to my Swiss roommate, maybe I would've learned to read in yiddish. I can read yiddish on like a 3rd grade level...)

Short of moving to an unpopulated island I will always be different in some way.
whatever goes in inside my mind and whatever image I project because of societal/familial pressure, those two shall never meet. And I’m okay with that. |
This post made me sad. And intrigued.
Are you really content that the two shall never meet? Or is it more of a acceptance of reality, and knowledge that it can never happen for you to outwardly move to a square hole?
In addition, what kind of home do you envision your children raising? And would it bother you if they live the lifestyle you present outwardly, but more completely then you?

I am really content and happy. I have so much to be grateful for. So much love and joy in my life.
I haven’t come across that square hole yet that I would want to move to. I don’t think it exists. People like me are outsiders in every environment because percentage wise there are so little of us.
I don’t envision my children’s futures. Their futures are for them to decide. Whatever they do I will support them and be proud of their accomplishments.
