One From the Family

When it comes to being related to someone; having them be famous or infamous can be either life changing in a good way or a serious burden... Maybe even put extreme amounts of expectation and undo pressure to be someone whom u are not... Having the same name never helps.

Having these things in your life can temper your morality and even your sanity. "Should I do what they say I should do?" "Am I really capable?" "Why can't I just do what I feel like doing?" "Why do I have to try to be someone I never knew?" "How come I am the only one that gets this treatment?"

I wonder sometimes if the accomplishments by one in the past can cross over a family line, not necessarily by direct blood, but by heredity... And what are the chances that the same trade and imaginary-vision is apart of that? I also wonder if they thought similarly to how I think, had other interests like I have now. Did they have the same exciting secrets kept from everyone else? Could I really and truly be so similar to them?

A comic said that, "Your life can be predefined by your family tree. Is there fruit growing in it? Or is there a noose hanging from it."

A philosopher said that, "Choice and perception are almost everything we evolve from. Instinct is one of the motivators."

My grandfather told me, "Defining who you are comes from what you feel in your gut, when your spirit speaks to you and illuminates your heart and mind. Everything else is just indigestion."

I say, "Just because something comes naturally, doesn't mean you have to do it. I rather try to do everything else just as good."

That being said, what I can do gives me great pleasure and excitement. It also pisses me off when I hear the phrase, "Told you so."
