    I would describe myself as a culmination of life experiences.  I don\\\'t regret any part of my life journey, but do learn from my mistakes (most of the time).  I am a family oriented person. Family is very important to me.  I have serious wanderlust, and traveling gives me a lot of joy.  I think traveling is not only a blessing because it provides you the chance to see the world but also if you embrace it, broadens your perspective as you see other cultures.  I do have a fascination with history.  I work really hard to make sure that I treat everyone with kindness and respect.  I\\\'m not bothered by pedigree or classes, and actually don\\\'t care for them particularly.  I believe anyone who works hard and honestly is deserving of the same respect as everyone else.  I would also describe myself, my upbringing as cross-generational.  I have a value system that spans generations (I took a test a while ago that proves that...haha).  I value an evolved way of thinking that is open-minded, but also believe that there should be a respect for elders, a man should offer his seat to a woman, and hold the door open, and that to get something of value, one must work hard and earn it on their own.   I\\\'m not sure I agree with cultural norms of the roles of men and women in household but I do think both have duties to each other to help each other, support each other and have each other\\\'s back, and that spouses fill into each other to make sure there are no gaps.  

I also believe in constructive criticism as long as its delivered with honesty, and respect for the other and isn\\\'t done to shame them or make them feel bad.  I think that honesty is a very important component in any relationship, along with friendship and a complete acceptance of one another.  I think you have to be able to laugh at yourself and recognize that while you should always do your best in all parts of your life, sometimes something has to give and you have to be able to cope and move on.
