A conflict within. [I Believe In Destiny]

I know this is gonna sound silly but these past few nights I've been having nightmares about my estranged ex-father. He walked out on me and my mom when I was 7 but recently, in my nightmares; he keeps telling me that I'm destined to become him and follow his lazy slob lifestyle. I try to run in the nightmares but he keeps chasing me.

When I wake up, I look in the mirror and see him, because with my ratty beard, I look just like him so I shaved it off..

But I just gotta ask. Is it possible to be destined to become your father? Because I always thought our destinies was our own.

tI this your subconscious is trying to tell you or warn you.
You were little then and you absorbed some of your father's traits or behaviours which is understandable at that age.

@revenant Hopefully overtime I can discard those traits once and for all if I turn life around :-)
