What IF

I was born a son of a murderer......
I probably either:
won't be able to see him because he may be dead already
won't be able to see him every day because he is in prison
won't know he's past because he won't want me to find out who he really is
become just like him because i grew up with he's theories

I was an orphan......
I would probably feel kind of empty on the inside though I'm happy on the outside because there is a part of me that I don't know.

I was born a son of a president......
I would feel extremely happy as my dad would become and icon and role model for many. Getting all the attention ain't that hard anymore. Bodyguards everywhere whom would sacrifice their own safety for me and considered it an honour. Buying whatever I want without thinking twice whether I got enough cash.
OR
I would feel extremely awkward and trap because I'm being watched by someone 24/7.Which means my privacy would be violated=no freedom. Can't do anything I want. Having friends that are just-there-for-the-money type of people. Can't really talk to anyone who has not been body-checked because my safety would be at risk.

I was born somewhere in the continent of Africa......
There will be a high change that I'm infected with HIV from birth and is in of meds to survive. Most probably in a state of malnutrition with defy all laws of a proportionate body. I might not even know who my dad is because my mom was raped.

I was born in a freaking rich family.......
I would not know the real meaning of contentment. I would just by anything and everything I like. I will be in the most expensive school in the country where students are free to express themselves even with their uniforms. Brands such as Bata or Pallas will be a taboo. Only the latest of the latest brands and gadgets will be "allowed". Everyone will try to be the coolest and best in school. Lies would be hanging in the air as everyone would boast how good and rich their parents are. But in actual fact their parents are only half of what they say. Not only that, I would have to behave because my parents reputation would be at stake if I don't. Living up to the standards of my parents and achieving greds for my parents not for myself.

I was born in a family of celebrities.....
It would be awesome being able to hang out with famous people from the industry. Maybe even end up being some of their best friends. Would most probably into the industry as well and rise up tp stardom one day. And the result is not some oscar award but a bunch of paps following me around like faithful satellites recording every single mistakes made by me; forgetting that I'm still human.

But
if now .......

I am a child of God so I know that my identity is in God.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11
