Anomalies part 1

Have you ever looked at the people around you and wondered what their true selves were? I don't mean just knowing how they really feel or how they really act when they know they won't be judged. I mean who they really are, the them that even they themselves may not even be fully aware of.
I know that everyone is supposed to be unique but if we're all honest lots of people are basically the same but with a different face. It's not a bad thing. If everyone was too different they wouldn't be able to connect to one another. That being said there are plenty of people who are very different, not to say this is bad either, but to truly stand out alongside others they are anomalies.
Anomalies are people who stand out. That goes without saying. The thing that makes them so fantastic is not that they stand out but what it is about them that makes them stand out. I think sometimes that it's something in their spirits or something about their true identities.
Anomalies may not even be easy to spot at first but once you notice them they will never blend into the background as neatly as they did before, if they ever had. I myself must have run into dozens of anomalies without taking time out to register what I was seeing. I decided to change that by taking a better look at people.

I have an older sister who is an idea. I knew that there was something about her ever since I was young but I never truly looked into it. Now I think I have a better understanding of her. She was created by my mother, my other sisters, my brother and I. She is the idea of improvement and the concept of being better and freeing yourself from limitation and underachievement. I believe that we all created her from our desire to be better. There are plenty of people who want this but a person was not created from this desire. The reason being is that my family had/has the pure potential to be better. We all just need to be pushed. It's what brought her to life. She became the physical manifestation of our ability to be greater. Every one who comes across her will find themselves wanting to be better. She doesn't make you better, but awakens and nudges the potential inside ever so slightly so that we may feel the urging to go forth and accomplish something.

My mother fought against her potential because she found it easier to fail but deep inside she wanted/wants to be more otherwise my sister wouldn't have been created.

The form that my older sister's potential takes is that of a gps. It shows her where to go but she enjoys the ride so much that she refuses to make the right turns. Her desire to make the right turns and do the right thing will never leave her otherwise my sister wouldn't have been created.

My older sister who is younger than the idea is a jack of all trades, master of none. She takes the form of a granite statue unmoved by the things around her and content to live in a garden of concrete statues. Nothing is wrong with being content with life, no ones needs to always be trying to take more than they have but she has the potential to stand in a garden of granite statues. Because she is still and doesn't look around her she doesn't see that she is different from those around her and can move on to a better garden, but she has the potential deep inside to see the truth of her worth and act otherwise my sister wouldn't have been created.

 My brother likes to play around doesn't often see the repercussions of  his actions. He doesn't take the world seriously enough because to him it's all a game. Not to say he shouldn't enjoy life but he always seems to need guidance. My sister, the idea, is his jiminy cricket. Whispering and telling him to take things, including himself a little more seriously. She's helping him make the transition from silly cartoon to a real boy who has real goals and responsibilities. Deep inside he knows that he has the potential to stop being a child and allow himself to become someone dependable and respectable otherwise my sister wouldn't have been created.

I have always on some level been aware of what I could do and what I could be. I lacked motivation. The idea needed someone to reach their potential and looked to me with gleaming eyes and a sly smile. Because of who I am I forget my motivation from time to time but I always remember and some point and go right back to accomplishing my goals. If I didn't have the potential to be great then my sister wouldn't have been created.

My sister was the first anomalies I studied.
