Why? Why do things seem to hit at the same time or does one hit and the others find an opportunity to join in the overwhelming party.

Cognitive dissonance is that ill feeling in my gut when I compare where I am in life now with where I expected I would be. I had plans and expectations and this is not them.
We all have plans for our life. Some of these plans are set by our parents expectations, some are helped along by watching how well off and happy people are on TV shows and some are even put in our heads when we see other people like our friends on Facebook or Instagram post vacation photos or happy group selfies. All these seem to be expectations that we compare ourselves to and say, hey I am not having as much fun as I thought I would and others seems to be doing better.
We are born with memories and we create new memories. It is proven with animals that our DNA that we inherited from our parents and ancestors contain memories from our past. New memories from our birth to now add to our subconscious memories and are the YouTube of our mind.
Our acestors live inside our brains or our spirits. We were not born with a blank slate. We were born with DNA that passed on memories, fears, behaviours and especially physical characteristics.
My ancestors from many generations in Ukraine passed on to me the distrust of authority when they were beaten, imprisoned and starved to death. I horde and keep stuff that I know I don't need, I have always needed to eat more than a regular portion of food until I was more than full. I stockpile food that could last me for years.
Since that day we were born we have recorded everything we have seen and experienced.
