The Devoured

Everyone of us is unique. No one is exactly the same, even identical twins do not think alike. But why do we end-up like being a carbon copy of someone else, most likely our parents? For me, its called family genes acquisition. Never heard of it? Yeah I know, because I just made it up. But of course, somebody must have think of this before, and with all due respect I did not meant to copy anything, I never even tried to Google this words.. it just came across my mind while I was brainstorming myself. For some of us, acquiring some of our parent's ideals and characteristics are blessings, but to some, its like a hand-me-down curse. The latter one is the case for me. You see, my parents are responsible people, they gave everything they can to give us the lives they never had and I am really grateful that I have parents built this way. But digging into their lives, I have come to realize what kind of lives they had gone through themselves. That is why, I do not blame them for passing on some "curses" which were most likely had been passed-on to them by their parents and who knows how long has this been going on! Maybe they did not had the leisure time to reflect through themselves while I was still living with them, of what might happen to me, or what I might acquire from them by showing-off those role-model like attributes and characteristics. For me, its been a battle between the things I have acquired and the things I wanted to become. I wanted this to stop. I will be the end of this negative-thinking-phenomena, the "curse" that has been passed on from generation to generation in my family. The storm that devoured everyone in my family tree.


How will I do this? Do the exact opposite on what they do. I am striving to be the most positive thinker that I ever met in my life. And its like a battle. An everyday battle that I have to face from dusk 'till dawn. But I am doing it. Proud to say I am. I will be posting this books that I am talking about soon. I just have to compile it in a way that will be easier for you to browse on.
