Lyricist!

I love music. I am absolutely in love with the stuff, I am a complete and utter addict! And I often find that music defines my life so perfectly. You know what I'm talking about? So, today I was looking at music, trying to create a Christmas list, and I came across this song:

Family Tree by Matthew West: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1dfe8esH2Y

Can I just start by saying, my family is dysfunctional. I'm not so sure there is any ideal family out there! We all have the crazy family member, some of us have more of them than others. Matthew West says that you're family is not the definition of your life. But that only works sometimes, sometimes I swear we are doomed to become our parents. I mean really, my family are habitual depressives. Unfortunately that isn't a legacy you can just stop and say, "I'm done being this person" I'm stuck with it. Oh, I try, really I do, to just be happy. But it never works. I'm bred to be a depressive, it is my destiny and my legacy... My sweet curse, my discussing obsession, my terrible blessing.
