Just like her.

People usually have role-model, whose footsteps they wish to follow, like whom they want to become one day, on whom they write essay in school stating why they want to become like them, why according to them they are so perfect.

I for one never had a role model. I am sorry but I never did. Instead all throughout I knew that there was one person that I would try and avoid being. Why? How? Please don’t ask but I know that I never wanted to end up like her, nor do I want to now.

And so began the quest of not being like her. But then how much can a person change herself? The more I try not being like her, the more I find that I am the exact replica of her, the good, and the bad everything has been inherited from her. I am just the spitting image that I thought I never would be.

And then again the struggle starts of not being like her. But how long can this go? And what about not changing yourself? But then what about not being like her?

    A dilemma indeed. Just be yourself, Moushmi. You need not, not be like anybody but work on being yourself, works easier that way.

      I guess, it is indeed easier that way. Following your own path, with no baggage what so ever.

      Thanks dear,
      But in being ‘me’ sometimes I see her doppelganger, and I don’t think that’s gonna help.

        Hmmm…..but look at the good things only and ignore the negative? Or even better build upon the goodness and fix the negative! The theory if evolution! Or how engineers release the next versions of a product incorporating what i said above. You cant change the genes but certainly strive to improve things otherwise. And feel proud and let others feel proud as well!

    Hi dear, I myself can almost say I am in the same situation with my dad.
    U might never have to change who u naturally are, but when u realise thing things that are not so good like u said not everything is bad, then u can learn to manage them. For instance if it’s anger, so should know never to react immediately, count to 10 the walk away. Point is know the traits u don’t like and want and devise a way to manager them. have a lovely day ahead

      Thanks a lot dear, I guess that shall help. At least I know what I don’t like and I might help myself in some way after all.
