My life

Everything in todays world most people do for practicality. while there are the few among us who remain burdened, or carry, metaphorical and emotional things, many of us carry physical things, mostly for practicality. i am not one of the few who are special, i am one who carries practical things. the thing i have with me almost everywhere is my phone. it is how someone is able to contact me. the sad truth is that the phone may really describe humanity, everyone is tied to technology when we do not need to be. but unfortunately we are, phones are almost as cherished in this world as pets and humans are. i carry a phone because it is a tool for fun and both work.

another object i carry, this one metaphorical, is being the first son. since i am the first born i feel added pressure from both my parents, and myself, to behave and act more responsibly for my brothers. i am the guinea pig so to speak and a lot of the time having all that pressure clouds my thoughts and weighs me down. i also feel like i have to be the mediator of the family when there are fights, this is because i am the first born. i feel a sense of duty to my family that i express more openly than my brothers, this too i believe is because i am the first born.

these things that i carry are only a few, but i believe that what you carry helps to define who you are, they shape you and mold you into a unique human being. everyone has different "crosses" to bear and so everyone is different. they are you.
