I Hate Art

I think I'm adopted, my parents and the rest of my siblings will pay through the roof for expensive paintings. They marvel on family trips, musing around art galleries and wow in astonishment at every painting. They pay for farcical excursions to gaze at buildings, take pictures of statues and anything that resembles ancient.

I look at a painting, it's either tree or a house. I can go on google image, download a picture, print it and put a frame on it. I don't know the fascination with the Mona Lisa or any of those expensive paintings, they all look the same to me.

Family trips would always end with an evening of watching a play or musical, the most mundane waste of precious time. I prefer to huddle up in a corner and read a good book. I'm often told I have no taste but frivolous materials does nothing but create excessive spending.

The Family - if only they were more like me- IF ONLY

To have a family, means to practice to Forgive them. In life you can be Happy or you can be RIGHT about you. To be right and make them wrong, you will be RIGHT. ...

SO be right, then? ?

The only one that you have a say over is you, then know you will always be at issue with them.

They are they
You are you

Be right or be happy

If you can forgive them for not been you, then maybe you may have a glimpse of been happy in life.

Still love them yet still boring. We can't choose who our families are.
