Children are often given their own rooms from a young age and are taught responsibility. Many young adults leave home between 18-21 to begin independent lives, and parents do not typically arrange marriages. Elderly family members may be supported by social programs instead of family. While nuclear families are common, some extended families remain close-knit through shared religious or ethnic backgrounds.

Dedicated to The First Flower After Winter I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. Pablo Neruda STORY starts with gifts from the sky into your ability to love and how you choose to treat people. "Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does." You are You story
