A child follows his father's stride while insisting he does it at his own pace.

So does this mean...he'll follow his father's footsteps at his own speed?

My literary analysis skills have SO gone down the drain. XD

That's probably it. I was aiming for something like 'People are influenced by others, even if they don't realize it.' but I think you hit it.

Is that a quote from somewhere?

[kytyngurl2]

Popped into my head last night.

[ionicaq]

Well it's very profound!

[kytyngurl2]

Awww, thanks! *flush* ^_^

... ahahaha...

We'll not talk about how I am just like my dad minus the smoking, the gambling, and the military stuff.

[kytyngurl2]

Awwww.

Being like a parent isn't really what I was thinking of. I was actually thinking of some friends of mine and what they said.

I'm a lot like my dad too.

Well, I think I understand. It's the whole thing where you're following along with the expectations of another person while insisting you're doing your own thing, right?

... or something like that.

Actually, the words you use is probably the easiest way to speak of the idea which makes it that much more meaningful.

I just got mental-ping'd by the term "father" is all.

Ahahaha... sometimes I wish I weren't so much like him, but then again, it's better than being like my mom, I guess.
